 | I just started working full-time at a new job. The job itself is okay, but my heart is breaking!!! We stretched every dime & cut back as much as we could but there was no way I'd be able to stay home with my 6 month old son. Everyone says the time you have with your baby is "more precious" now but it really isn't because when he stays with his grandma or daddy he doesn't nap too well and they aren't feeding him the way I want him to be (He has sensitive eating habits that can really throw off his whole night if they aren't close to his "schedule".) He's usually really fussy or not going to bed until 11 or 12 at night when I need to be at work at 6 a.m.! I have no time for myself and I don't even want to take the time because I just miss my son so bad I want to be with him and nothing else. The "adult conversation" you gain from working is a load of crap in my opinion too, usually all we talk about is our kids & that just makes us miss them more! I absolutely cannot quit, our combined income is barely 30,000 and I'm tired of people telling me I shouldn't have ever had a baby in the first place if I couldn't afford it. I'm just at the end of my rope with everything, please pray for me and my family. It will help a lot more than you might think :) Also if you'd like to be added to my prayer list post your request & I'll keep you in my thoughts as well! Thanks for letting me vent, I apologize if I offended any moms who enjoy working, that's not my intention! |
