Sounds like she's going all out to ensure she gets a job
the childcare thing is just an excuse in my opinion.
Yes children are important but so is your job. If you have an interview then you ensure the kids are taken care of for the day. You also take a job which enables you to be there for the kids when you have to - if that means a lower paid job then so be it...you decide to have children then I'm afraid there are penalties to be paid. In an ideal world parents' careers would be unaffected by children and children would cope supremely well in good childcare facilities. But we don't live in an ideal world so we need to make compromises.
She needs to make compromises and not fall back on discrimination laws where clearly she's the one at fault.
