So I've recently become unemployed & a stay at home mom with our 6 month old son. I can't help but beat myself up though for not working or making a income, even though I watch a little girl for some money every week. My fiancé is SO supportive telling me he wants it to be this way, and he will support us. Which is amazing, but it doesn't help that I'm always sad and feeling like a loser for being heavy weight on him. Anything I can do to help myself? I'm tired of beating myself up physically and emotionally 😞
I am in the same boat as you kind of. I haven't been able to work throughout this entire pregnancy and I can't even count on 2 hands the amount of times I've cried about it because I felt like I wasn't doing anything to support my son's arrival. my boyfriend keeps telling me not to worry about it and that he'd rather me stay healthy and not work and stress myself but honestly not working is stressing me more then anything. I love that he's supportive but at the same time I don't want it to be this way. I've tried so hard to find a job and after I hit 7 months there was no point anymore.
I was in the same situation for almost a year . in my opinion as long as your taking care of your child, you are doing your part. and even now I don't work a full time job like my fiance does. I work maybe three days a week . but being a full time mommy is a good job as well:) keep your head up
