Sharing a tip: Childcare alternative as a SAHM
As a Stay at home mom I found it difficult to not have time to take care of myself unless baby was sleeping.
I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but I found it difficult to take care of myself too.
I thought about getting childcare for a few hours a day so that I could get things done more easily, but it was too expensive.
Result:
My family and I found a gym near us that has childcare. During the day or after my husband gets home we all go there.
We exercise while the baby plays. Its a lot cheaper than childcare as we get our whole family in for the month at $180.
I encourage anyone who feels that they need some help to take care of themselves to look into a gym, womens fitness or family center.
Its a great way to get a break during the day.
The cheapest family gym that provides childcare near me is $50 a month!
Sometimes these places provide the option to get a day pass, instead of a subscription.
Hope this helps.
Its helped my family a lot.
Key words: natatorium, family gym, wellness center, women's fitness, mommy and me
I use our YMCA so much for this! I will go walk on the track or swim or sometimes just sit while baby gets to socialize! So worth the money!
