I knew when I took this job, it would be hard. I took it because my in laws told me they would be able to watch the kids for the 45 minutes that we need because I just barely miss my SO every day. I know they have no obligation to but now I’m stuck. So now I either have to find a babysitter/daycare with all this coronavirus going on or just quit my job and have absolutely no money besides paying bills. Thing is I need my job if we ever want to get out of this 2 bedroom, if we ever want to succeed in life besides being trapped and unhappy... mommas what would you do? My grandma WILL watch them if I have no other option but she already has custody of my niece who is 4 and my stepsisters put a lot on her so I don’t want to do that to her..
The stress of no sleep on me and my SO adds to it all and it’s hurting us badly. We just want the best for our kids and I feel no matter what I do I can’t figure this out. I tried staying at home but I got tired of never having any extra money. We tried to make it work by me being on night shift but that still doesn’t work when I have to be there at a certain time and he doesn’t get off until after that time.
You probably wouldn’t want to stay home and do penny pinching. You’ll be limited to what you can do and be bored type thing.
