@misswiggles no worries on any kind of late reply... As mothers we have our priorities and social media usually isn't in our top five 😂 I'm sorry your vacation time with him didn't work out but it is nice that the two of you had a day date :)

@familygrown we didn't end up going cuz he didn't plan out his vacation time. After all the stressing and finally accepting being away he tells me he doesn't have enough time to take off work. So we did a day date. Was sorta mad but the day date was nice. We were going to go to Tahoe. I want to work more but with the child care we'd be in the same position we are now. So I'm accepting how it is now. I love my baby time and wish I could be at home more. But I'm getting stir crazy haha

I had a laggy reply too. Im hardly on this app anymore. Not much time since work has me working every night it seems.

@misswiggles thank you re:his name! His middle name is legally Wild-Child 😂 and yeah it was hell but absolutely worth it! 💞

I can believe how expensive day care/a sitter would be. I finally started my search for child care too. We found one that we're taking a tour of next week. Its very well rated here so fingers crossed!

I couldn't imagine 4 days away! I bet it is kind of nerve racking! But as I've been told, a vaction might do you some good! Where do you plan on going? (If you haven't already gone) 😌

(Sorry my reply time is super laggy btw)

@familygrown wow you've been through alot. I'm glad you were able to get him back. I can't even imagine going thru that. I love his name ❤️

Child care is so expensive so even tho I don't work much it wouldn't matter if i worked more and had a baby sitter. We'd still be broke.

We're going on vacation at the end of this month and not bringing our girl and I'm freaking out. I've been away from her all day but not for 4 days.

Yeah I haven't been away from my son at all in 5 months.. Other than the occasional shower, and his dad works 12hr shifts the majority of the week. Daycare hasn't been an option because of finances, plus I'm terrified to be away from Mowgli. I had to fight cps to keep him when he was born because of South & North Carolina's backwards ass laws on cannabis. They absolutely fucked with me, where as a mom that just gave birth a few rooms down had the same accusations against her and yet got to leave the hospital with her baby... 10 days in the hospital, a deadly infection from lack of medical care that almost killed me, a lost tooth from stress, and a month and a half later I finally got him back...

@familygrown it's not that bad. I just work part time at nights so someone is always home with the baby. It's hard when you don't get to see your other half and baby. I don't know much about marketing but it's probably better than retail. It's hard having to leave but knowing I'm making money to help us keeps me motivated.

Whats it like working while being a first time mommie? I want to start working in the marketing field again from home but I have lost all of my time management skills now that the little ones here (with a whole new set of priorities of course).
