I NEED ADVICE:
So I got a really big decision to make. We are struggling with paying bills and we have a 2 1/2 months old baby girl. Right now I am a stay at home mom and me and my husband keeps talking about me going back to work so we can get caught back up on bills, but I don't want to leave her. I don't know what to do. I would have to work at least six months to get caught back up and that's the most important time of her life that she is going to need me. Our plan was for me to stay home till at least she is one but we need money. I mean we could handle the bills but we would struggle with getting food. I need help on my decision. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR ADVICE! Should I go back to work or not?
I personally didn't wanna leave my daughter either but I decided to go to work for no more than 4-5hours about 4-5 times a week...it's always in the morning so it's like she doesn't even notice I'm gone
This was something I struggled with too. I ended up compromising and going back 3 days a week. It's still not ideal and I hate leaving my baby, but I keep telling myself that it is to benefit her. Let me know if you just need someone to talk to. I know how hard it can be.
Going back to work wouldn't hurt I think you should consider it maybe if your husband works during the day then you could get a night job n that way she is at least with one of you... and then maybe you could try and have it were you don't work Friday sat & Sunday so you'll have those 3 days off but you'll also be able to help with the bills
My husband and I took opposite shifts when it was time for me to go back after having the baby (6 weeks is all I got). We have been on opposite shifts ever since so that one of us is always home with the baby. That solution has worked well for us.
