I’ve been feeling really guilty for not working while I stay at home and take care of my 2 month old. Does anyone have suggestions of what I could do? I can’t do anything that requires calling, also don’t have an up to date laptop.

Raising a child is a full time - no pay job
No need to feel guilty
Enjoy these moments ❤️

Honey we may not begin paid but taking care of a baby being a stay-at-home mother is a 24-hour job that a lot can't fathom let alone attempt to do You're a superwoman whether you see it or not 😉

Aww thank you guys

Assuming y’all planned it this way, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it, you’re saving your family money on daycare & probably at least fuel as well. I know the legit WFH jobs here require you to have childcare, I had a friend get fired bc her dog could be heard barking in the background, after they had gotten onto her about her dog being in the room with her during work hours. The type of childcare we’d prefer would’ve cost us $3,500, that was literally just taking care of an infant FT plus making sure our then 12y made it back inside after chores & making enough lunch for him to also eat w/the nanny/manny & his brother, he didn’t need watching, kept up w/his own schoolwork & activities, but we don’t do farm chores w/o someone else home or close by, jic of accidents, doesn’t matter if we’re 12 or 50, it’s safety habits we all have, even w/easy chores. It would cost all of my check & part of my hubs for me to work, especially since I’d need transportation. I save us lots of money🤷🏻♀️
