I have three beautiful children that I actually love being home. I missed a lot with my two oldest because I had to work missed there 1st walk, 1st words and they always ask me when they spend day with me, as they were in daycare three and four days a week.
I am due back to work in Mid february next year my baby will be 10 months old. Which located 30 minutes trip and I have to drop at 6.30am pick up 6pm( I did this with oldest two)
Having three kids juggling work, home life etc how many days did parents go back to work when had third? Budget wise it’s going cost me 350 in child care for six days every two weeks, how can cope?
Two oldest my young girl has anxiety
And my son is needed special assistant at school (while been maternity been focus on his skills for learning plus seeing clinical appts for help).
My partner works 6 days a week and I have no family near me live in another state.
Feel like I whinging but I want enjoy life and not miss out on living and enjoy family instead of working stressed out, missing out on happy moments.

So just quit work and put your kids first for once!! Its obvious. Your own flesh & blood, & they've got issues, & you've got regrets from the sounds of it ... What a ridiculous situation & question you have put out here. Your husband works 6 days a wk so must be bringing in decent $$ dough. Don't be so greedy that You have to work fulltime too & leave strangers to do the whole care & nurture & playtime etc etc of your tiny 10mth old - from *6AM TO 6PM* - are you crazy woman?! This whole mentality & post just disgusts me. Whinge whine no family close, hubby away, kids suffering & got special needs, got a 10mth old too, but tell me how I can feel ok about working fulltime anyway. :-o :-o >:(
Nasty/judgemental much!?!?!
Nope looks like its just saying the facts & a very valid opinion ?!!
Why have kids if you're going to farm them out & this IM poster is already stating how much she needs to & wants to be there for her children, the job is totally not worth it in comparison, so what's the actual question again? Yeah maybe a good hard logical view is worth hearing. Preach it sista :-p
I wanted children and I am not farm them off excuse me.
So much for ideas, useful tools and hints. judge judge
IM poster mum here. Yes they are my flesh and blood but there are alot of bills to pay health insurance, private health bills, school fees and i cant rely on centrelink. everything cost alot more now.
I wasnt whinge and whine I was actually looking for support and wanted to know if there were other mums out there in my position.
Your comment actually made me disgusted I thought there would be some support but looks like nothing but judge.
I made sacrifices, based on the kids I got. Our lifestyle changed drastically, and I regret nothing.
We don’t have much but I am always here for my kids. Between them they’ve have/had a life threatening illness, mental illnesses and learning/developmental disorders.
This shit changes your perspective and priorities in life
