Went to the grocery store for an hour and missed my daughter sooooo much. I don’t know how I’m going to go back to work.. 😩😩😩
Jesus make a way for me to stay home with my baby, mentally I’m just not prepared!!
@mommy020918, facts!!! It’s hard to trust ANYONE NOW A DAYS 🙄🙄🙄
@mommy020918, he’ll no! My family work && go to school. And besides they basically said FUCK ME && my children once my daughter was born. So I don’t have NO ONE as far as family && my fiancé side as well they all said FUCK US!!! So we all we got && he works two jobs so it’s complicated
@shanilaray2420, I don’t blame you for being terrified to put her in daycare. Even though this is a family member of mine who owns her daycare I’m still going to miss my baby and wonder if she is ok. I mean I trust her a lot but I’m still a mother too. You know..
@shanilaray2420, thank god for my boyfriend because if it wasn’t for him providing for us I would have had to break my lease and move home with my parents. I have her daycare all set up , thank god it’s a family memebers daycare. But she’ll only be there two days out of the week the other days my parents will have her. Do you have a family member (that you trust) that does work, that you could maybe pay bi-weekly or monthly do keep her?
@mommy020918, wow that’s crazy! My job only gave me 6 weeks of maternity leave && 12 weeks of bonding && I got paid for my maternity leave but as far as my bonding I only get paid for 6 weeks && the other 6 weeks w. No pay. But I haven’t gotten anything from Disability yet 🙄
@mommy020918, I’m suppose to go back May 23!!! I really don’t either. I don’t even have a babysitter! && I’m terrified to put her in an daycare. So I have NO CLUE what imma do w. my daughter 😩😩😢
@cbrebelkat, I moved at the beginning of 17’ so I’ve only been with my current job 8 months so I’m on maternity leave with no pay but by law they had to give me up to 12 weeks off, so I am thankful for the 3 months off work, because you are right it use to only be 6-weeks.
my old job was lovely, they gave 6 months off with 100% pay as long as you were with the company for a year.
@shanilaray2420, I go back April 26th. I cry just thinking about going back. 😔 When do go back to work?
@mommy020918 yea, it's very slowly improving. It use to be 6 weeks and some companies now pay u, tho it's not required by law
@cbrebelkat, the maternity leave in the United States SUCK! 😡😢
A lot of countries overseas give you anywhere from 6-12 months off work. That’s better then the 12 weeks they’re giving me.
Praying for you girl. My boy is 2 and I still couldn't imagine. I fully intended on working. That was the plan and I tried to find work, but now I'm so glad I got to stay home.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
