It probably comes as little shock to some that I couldn't hold down the job with cats protection. I did a grand total of three days plus a days training before I had to hand in my notice due to not having a good grip on my childcare issues. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to bring in that fantastic income to support my family and absolutely gutted that I won't be helping to promote the awareness of the great work that Cats Protection do (although when things have settled down here I do intend to have some involvement as a volunteer). But at the same time I think I made the right decision. Just the though of missing out on little madam every evening after nursery really upset me and I see now just how much of her life I would have missed. I have decided that if I am to go for another job I should go for something that starts in the morning and would finish in time for me to spend time with my daughter. I see how work takes a hold over a lot of peoples lives and how the kids get fobbed off and end up having a better relationship with their sitter rather than their parents.
