I wish I could...

I wish I could afford to be a SAHM. Ever since I went back to work 6 pp, I've missed SO much. Now my baby girl is 6 months! The most time we have together is the two hours in the morning before daycare (I work there so I can peek in sometimes), and the evening when we have just enough time to bathe, eat, snuggle for a few and sleep. It really breaks my heart and while I'm thankful that I have a job and can provide for her, I wish I could be with her more.

End of pity party.

    I understand. Sorry. At least you know she's in good hands and you can peek in on her.

    It's kind of like that too if u have more than one kid. Skye fell asleep on me the other day and I was like OMG I haven't had this happen in months. DH had taken DS to the movies so I got to spend alone time with her. If DS is around I feel like all I do is move her station to station to keep her occupied

    This is my #1 reason why we are considering being one and done. We have such limited time with 1 child, I can't imagine then dividing my time between 2!

    Same here. DS falls asleep now at 7pm and we don't get home until close to 6pm. It's been really rough and I struggle with it everday. :(

    To make matters worse; when I came back from maternity leave, my job completely changed and now I absolutely hate it. I want to quit everyday, but we can't afford to lose my income right now with our new mortgage and all our student loan debt. The past few months I have been working on getting my in-home daycare license so that I can quit my job and watch a few children in my home to still earn $$$ and be home with DS. I won't have to make as much as I do now, especially since I will be cutting things like gas and daycare costs.  I will still have to divide my time between DS and other kids, but at least I will get more time with him and get out of this job that I hate. I know the grass isn't always greener, but it's hard when the choice is made for you due to circumstance.

    *Hugs*
