NPR but I need some input. I just started a new job working with my husband because we can barely afford bills with just him working. My only babysitter is my mom. We can't afford daycare or a nanny. But my my mom has gone off the deep end. She Keeps not showing up and making us late for work/ making me have to use my 17 year old sister to babysit even though she has school. My mom is apparently too sick and every time we talk it's always about how we don't care about her and are using her but she never goes to hospital and instead sleep all day and puts my sister and I down when we talk. The other day even she came to my house while my sister was watching my kids and tried taking them from her and wouldn't even let my sister leave with them. Today topped it off when she picked me up from work(she is also my only ride as I have no license) and she was drunk and was drinking and driving with my kids in the car. I want to quit my job because I don't feel safe leaving my babies with her and I have no one else. But my husband won't let me quit because if I do we are apparently screwed. I feel so stuck. What do I do? What would you do in this situation. I want them safe but also don't want to fight with my husband and have him yelling at me and resenting me. So sorry for the long post.
HeadStart will provide free care if you qualify financially.
I would look into possible help from the state. A lot of times they can pay for your child care and you can even choose who, like if you had a person that you know that watches kids or a daycare that you choose sometimes they will pay for it look into programs there are so many willing to help . Best wishes I wouldn't depend on your mother it will end up costing you your job instead of leaving on good terms . Your children's safety is way more than any amount of income if she's drinking with them in the car that's a huge red flag to stop right there.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Hello I am knew here. Im looking to make some new friends on here. My sister told me about her experience and meeting a new friend whom she feels like she has known forever. I am married and I work from home. I am also a college student. I have two boys and they are the best.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
my baby daddy's ex wife works at the hospital I'm having my daughter she is just a cleaning lady she tell me they let her move the babies around I'm scared this women will take my baby she even tells me if I have my baby early she could see her ever day .. my doctor only delivers at this hospital I don't know what to do . this is why I don't want to have my baby early ..
Am I wrong for not wanting anybody to hold the baby if it's not me or my husband? If they touch them I have them to sanitize their hands I do it to my kids also??
Maybe we can meet up! I've been wanting to babysit for a while just to get some socialization for my son
