We are engaged to be married and had half the cost of the wedding saved when we had to change the car, we had no other choice, the engine failed and then the gearbox (long story). I don't mind if we never get married but its killing me to see my partner going out to work everyday. And before there is any judgement we have 5 kids and I don't sit at home on my *** all day, if im not keeping house im out looking for work but no one will take me one because of my limited available hours due to the family. I looked at both full and part time and childcare and my wages from full time would go on childcare and if I work part time I would need extra to pay for childcare. We live 2 and a half hours drive from my parents and both my partners parents work full time. This week its really getting to me as school fees have come in and have to be paid by next week, we are struggling as it is and I really want to do something but what? I could really do with some genuine helpful advice please? We are not entitled to any social because of my partners wages, he does get a good wage but half of the wages go on the mortgage alone every month, once all utilities, bills, shopping etc are paid we might be lucky to have 20 left each week.
