Hubby is seriously making it harder on me. I have to put my almost 2 month old in daycare so I can get a job. I want to put her in daycare when she is at least 7 months that way she knows exactly who I am and I can feel comfortable leaving her with other kids and hopefully trusting adults. I'm uncomfortable with starting this so early but hubby isn't making a damn effort on getting everything we need and doesn't care about certain appointments. I seriously feel like I'm on my own here. I may be in a relationship but it feels like I'm a single parent who has a deadbeat husband not really being a father to our child like he needs to be

Although not your exact situation I can empathize with ya. I interviewed about 5 different daycares before i picked one I felt the most comfortable with, cried for at least the first week when dropping her off. I had to go back to work at 6 weeks (my work was unpaid leave and we dont make enough for me to stay home).
While some husbands were getting up and bringing baby to them in the middle of the night etc mine wasnt. I cried several nights alone out of exhaustion and frustration.
Although It is still very isolating exclusively breastfeeding on demand, getting up to pump im the middle of the night and taking my only break at work to pump, all gets easier AND I would have never made it without the support and validation of mom groups like this .
