Well I did it.... sad face

in Parenting after a Loss

Applied for a job that is. I have been very fortunate to not have to work since I was 4 months pregnant.  DH was stationed to NC so I had to quit my job and he told me that I he just wanted me to stay home and grow the baby haha (FWIW he would have been supportive if I wanted to work). 

Now that Lil is 7 months and my mom just moved in with us (she couldn't stand being 4 states away from her only grand daughter) I have made the decision to start looking into going back to work. 

We have some credit card and student loan debt and if I went back to work my income would be totally disposable and we would be able to pay that all off and be debt free (probably in 2 years total).

I am being very selective about the jobs that I'm applying for, but when a Sexual Assault Victim Advocate for the Marine Corp base opened up I had to apply (that is the type of work I did in Indiana).  I think it will be a good thing for me to go back to work and get some adult time in, but the thought of missing my afternoon snuggles during nap time with Lil makes me want to cry.

    Aw I'm sure it will be a sad transition, but it is great that you will be able to pay off that debt for your family and do the type of work that you are passionate about.  And I am assuming your mom will be able to watch her so you won't have to pay for daycare?

    Yes, she is going to watch her for now.  My mom wants to get a job herself because she wants to have some independence, and just because that is the type of person she is. Until she gets a job though I planned on paying her the same I would pay a daycare (it is relatively cheap in our area) and maybe that will entice her just to stay home with Lil haha!

    I hear you, it is so hard to leave them, but as PP said it sounds like a very rewarding job (and a tough job - I'm glad there are people like you who do it!). Good luck with the transition.

    That sounds like an amazing opportunity! I'm sure there will still be lots of snuggles when you get home :)
