I love doing nails and building my small empire but I love my hubby and my two boys as well (6 & 3 yrs). Since having my first child I havent gone back to full time work, instead I took some time out and eventually trained in nails which is where I am today. I do feel fortunate to have been able to do this.
It was a desperate struggle to get my NVQ 3 and other training, finding people to look after the children, school runs etc. My husband works abroad alot and isnt around much mon-fri so its hard.
My eldest in in school and my youngest goes to nursery 1 full day a week and 2 mornings at preschool so you can see where all my appointments get scheduled. It results in my being able to see 3-4 clients a week which leaves me a bit deflated. Theres so much I want to do, competitions, more training and to build up my business but I just cant seem to find the time. I'd like to have more children too but I know my self esteem and yearning to work in nails will suffer even more.
Nursery fees here are about £40 per day, I could really do with putting my youngest in for more days and perhaps a childminder for after school for my eldest but I cant justify the cost whilst I dont have enough clients. I cant advertise to get more clients as I dont have the time. Its catch 22.
How does everyone else with young families juggle everything they love?
