That sounds like a journey. Im very lucky that my labor was smoothe with no issues but ik not everyone experiences that and i feel so bad bc thats a journey that you take your body through and then on top of the responsibilities of being a mom. I praise all of you.

I even give props to the moms that get epidurals. The thought of a needle going into my spinal region makes me cringe hard.

Honestly ive thought about staying home with our daughter bc i work only 2 days a week but every time i think about that i cringe internally bc i really love my job and i enjoy the people i work with to an extent and i have so much respect for my main boss i wouldnt want to just abandon my job and then later find out i want to go back bc being at home didnt work for me. Yeah i dont get many hours so sometimes i feel like i could still work and also very successfully take care of our daughter but it all depends on what the future brings. I went to school for teaching so i have thought on more than one occasion that i wanted to home school our daughter when shes of age but i also really like the concept of the christian private school here in our town. I dont always like the idea of public school because the teachings are sanctioned by the government and they decide what is relevant to teach the children and i believe that at any age you can appropriately teach a child anything using several different methods. Its all about the approach and i just dont feel like public schools get that.

@theharmans2018, yeah my husband and I have talked about homeschooling my son at great length. We both agree to do it. And I have been saving resources for homeschooling and my husband gets resources too since he works at our local school system
