I hate to post so many journal entries, but i have a lot on my mind lately.
I'm making myself sick thinking about having some stranger watch my infant when i have to go back to work after having the baby. I don't have much of a choice other than to be working unless somehow my husband miraculously starts making a ton more money
How can we afford it? How can i trust a stranger to take care of my baby how id want them to be taken care of? I struggle just thinking about not being able to be there for my baby, and see every single moment of their growth. It makes me want to cry and makes me almost depressed.
Everything was all figured out before when we both were working...our lives were finally on the right track, and that's why we decided to try and have a baby. We had a plan, but usually life doesn't go according to plan. Our lives got turned upside down when i got laid off.

I think this is something a lot of woment deal with. I am very upset that I will have to go back to work after the baby is born, but I am lucky that my MIL lives 5-10 minutes away and is willing to babysit a few days a week. And then my husband is a teacher and will be watching her all summer. It kills me that I will have to work every day and have someone else watching her grow up. I cry just thinking about it. It is difficult, but so many children have been in the care of other people. Do you have friends with kids who could recommend day care? Or coworkers? |
