Going back to work

So I’m going for a job interview as I want to go back to work for a number of reasons 1. To save money as myself and my daughter will be moving out soon and furniture is expensive and 2. For my own sanity as much as I love being a mom going all day majority of days without speaking to anyone other than my baby is driving me crazy I’m a single mom and my mom doesn’t get home from work until my daughter is in bed and by that point I’m in bed myself . However I’m facing a lot of judgment especially from other family members that I’m being selfish and just “ wanting to get away from my daughter” and that I can afford not to work I’m starting to feel really guilty about it all but I know mentally I am struggling and think it will be good for me and I will only be doing up to 16hours a week. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated

I start working on Thursday. I am so excited to get back too a routine. As much as staying at home with my baby boy would be amazing I can’t mentally handle being secluded like I have been for months. I’ll be driving school bus so a couple hours in the morning and again in the afternoon gives me a chance to get out but still plenty of time with him also. Don’t let other people make you feel bad for doing what’s best for you.

I just don’t know what to do for the best like I feel as if I’m being made out to be a bad mom for taking my own mental health into consideration but I feel like to be the best mom I have to do that

Just do what feels right for you. People will always judge whatever you decide to do.
