Just wondering, how many of us are stay at home moms..?
i thought i would want to go back to work a mth after my baby was born... But i love being wit him evry moment. And then i also love my job. So i thought i would wait out his first year before putting him in daycare plus we're on a waitlist for one now. He's my first born so i wana be there for every lil moment. I love seing him grow, new things he does & now he baby talks. Just love it! I dont want some stranger being the first to see him crawl, hear him say his first word or take his first step. So i rather have hime with me, take him somewhere were he can play with babies, take him to the park, have playdates & be with his best friend. I think its way better this way. And i would regret it, not one bit... =)
maybe you can find a job you can do from home.
I thought about doin that but i dont have my PC with me. I wont have it for awhile. I mite even like workin from home :). But definately wana have him in daycare when hes 2. Its the fun age & i wouldnt want him to miss out on any of it.
my husband and i are trying to work our schedules so one of us will almost always be with the baby and when it's not us it's going to be someone close. My mom might watch baby once or twice a week for work purposes but that would be good for her because she does want time with her grand child. I'm not to thrilled personally with the idea of day care. I remember being in them, and children there were more like a pack than indeviduals and my personal decision is to avoid it at all costs. Everyone is different though.
Ive worked at a daycare & i liked working there. But i have seen how things are done & dont like it. And its in every daycare not just the one i worked at. I dont have faminy living in Austin so daycare is my only other choice besides staying at home with my baby. I have a friend who was thinking of running a home daycare but we havent talked about it so i dont kno if she still plans o doing that. Im jus doing what i can for now.
I thought that I would be working by the time my daughter turned 3 months, but haven't went to work yet...I love the time with her and watching her learn something new everyday, but would love to get back in the workforce.
