I am one stressed mom.
I work 3-4 days a week until 8pm. My husband works 7-3 for two weeks then 3-11 for two weeks. So for two weeks a month when we both work on the same days we have to find someone to pick our 4 year old up from daycare and keep him until 8pm. A few times a month that day falls on a karate day. This STRESSES me out!
Other things that stress me out -
* I am completely responsible for G's schedule... completely responsible for finding who watches him when we cant.
* I want to have another baby - BAD ... but then what the hell am I going to do with a 5 year old and a newborn with our schedules???
* I still have to find time for my workouts in addition to our crazy schedules.
My stomach hurts just thinking about it all.... what I need is a mom that has a hubby that works late who wants to make a little extra money and takes G those few times a month... I need a part time nanny. Right now I have amazing family and a great best friend that helps me out but I HATE having to keep asking for help. Paying is one thing... begging is another....uhhhh!
I know how you feel. I don't work but I did just find out my schedule for college next semester and two days a week I'm going to have to depend on my mom to get my kids off the bus. I just don't like having to do this but I don't have much choice. I juggle the schedule of 3 kids so I get where you are coming from on having another one but if thats something you truly want then you will find a way to make it work. Just take a deep breath and sit down with your husband and try to figure out what you can make work. I wish you the best of luck and things always seem to have a way of working out.
