You could possibly work at a daycare and put your kids in, usually you get a discounted rate. That does mean you have to trust the daycare though because they probably won’t both be in your classroom. You could possibly find a home daycare, or an au pair if you have a spare room. You can’t really just take them to work with you so you either have to wait until they’re in school or find someone or a place you can trust to leave them with. You could possibly find a work from home job, but it’d probably have to be one without many meetings or phone calls, maybe medical transcription? Some kind of insurance work? Idk just spitballing

You would have to trust a local daycare or nursery. Have a look at the ones in your area. Not all daycares/nurseries are bad I promise. My daughter had a bad experience in her first nursery & then when I moved here elsewhere they were absolutely fantastic and I honestly can’t praise them enough. It’s the only way you are still going to be able to work unfortunately.

I know how hard it is when you’ve no family to help with childcare. I’ve had to go onto nights so that my current partner can help with childcare, it’s our only option. But honestly have a look at different ones in your area and see which has the best rating x

Take it step by step or you'll get overwhelmed thinking of the whole staircase. Research daycares in your area. Also ask local mums in your area. Go visit them for yourself without committing to anything. Take your kids and see how they feel there. My son totally led which montessori he attends and he 100% made the right choice for him.

...Trust that as you take your next step more steps will become clear to you and you'll know what to do.

Not all daycares are bad. Not every one will be for your child too. You know them best and what their needs are.

Remember that a good daycare is better than an unhappy home. Your children can still feel safe and loved and happy. You got this.

Sending you love ❤️

I’m so pissed idk what to do I don’t want to call police

My husband has been saying is too tired to do anything and on the weekend he gets annoyed when I ask him to me and my daughter out. He always complains and when he comes home he wants time alone. It bugs me cause he hardly spend any time with our daughter.. anyways today I said we should walk to the store near by to get groceries but told him he should go alone with our daughter cause I already walked to the store earlier and been with our daughter all day. And he got so mad saying he wants me to walk with him and he wouldn’t have agreed to walking if he knew I wasn’t going to go. Anyways he slammed the door and left. I got a text saying how he’s upset and he’s taking note of this and he is going to take his time to come back home. That was at 4:45pm.. it’s now 6pm. He turned off his location. He won’t answer my texts and calls go straight to voicemail… I’m panicking… it’s getting cold and dark out.. idk where he went. His car is still here… I’m beyond pissed and if he doesn’t come home soon I’m calling the
Police. My trust is broken right now..

Feeling Pressure to Spend Time with Partner's Family Postpartum

I'm 3 months postpartum and my partner expects me to spend more time with his family when he's not there because he's working.
There have been comments made from his mum to him and then passed on to me that they expected me to make more of an effort with them. Honestly, it's overwhelming and added pressure and awkwardness. I get on with them fine but the relationship feels forced and they are coming to see the baby and not for me, am I wrong for not wanting this? My partner and i had a argument because he doesnt understand how its fine for my family to visit, i tried to explain the dynamics are different and as much as my family want to see the baby they come to visit to check in and give support to me! Has anyone else dealt with these expectations, and how did you handle it?
I now feel awkward, pressured and alot of guilt on my shoulders because they're 'not seeing the baby enough to bond'. Now cant get it out of my mind and want to see if I am in the wrong for not wanting them over much and prefer to keep it to when my partner is around.

Litter box

Has anyone else had an issue with getting their partner to clean the litter. I have to put on gloves and a mask/ scrub my arms after. I don’t want to risk making my baby blind. He will tell me he doesn’t think anything would happen. He says it’s a ploy by doctors to laugh at men cleaning the litter box. I’m stumped and feel as though he could do this one thing

Does anyone else nurse during Mass?

I haven’t received any dirty looks or been told anything about it but to keep my 9 week old quiet I nurse. So, we don’t have to go into the cry room I nurse him with a nursing cover. I just haven’t seen anyone else nurse during Mass.
