@mombie2be, my mom is an hour away too! When I got pregnant my husband and I were engaged and living with his parents. I told him that he had to get a house or apartment or SOMETHING for his family. He got one but it's ten minutes away from his parents and like I said before...my parents are an hour away 🙄

Same here , as a mother of two kids there is not point on working, I love my kids but I feel like this is not for me!!

I'm putting my son in daycare based on income, and they are charging me 500$ a month. I know it's technically cheap compared to other daycares, but I have to get out of this house. I live with my in laws and I hate it here. In order to move out I have to work as well. So it's basically a do or die situation for me. I haven't left this house in almost 2 years. My mom is about a hour away too. So I'm completely isolated. I was breaking down last month, and I said no more. I have to watch myself first to take good care of my son.

I wish I could do that but all of my paycheck would go towards daycare. My mom loves about an hour away and my in-laws don't know anything about babies. Maybe something will come along for me. I'll just have to wait it out.

I was feeling PP depression coming along, so I had to get myself a job. I start Nov 1st. My son will go to daycare. I feel like it's better for the both of us to get some interaction instead of being stuck home all day.

I'm right there with you
