Should single mothers be forced to go to work rather than stay on benefits?
Due to go back to work soon? Here's what every mum should know about childcare choices, and a handy guide to making your decision
It's likely that when you were a baby, your mum was at home looking after you full-time. How things have changed. Statistics show that now, almost 70% of mums with a baby less than a year old go back to work.
Even though the Government positively encourages us to get back into employment by offering tax credits and access to childcare vouchers, there's still a lot of bad press about working mums. Barely a month goes by without some study or another claiming that putting babies into childcare is bad for them.
But whatever the studies say, most of us don't have much of an option - it's back to work or the mortgage doesn't get paid.
In the following pages, we outline how to become a a mum who works both in and outside the home, to help make those incredibly difficult choices that little bit easier for you.
