PPD

I look at my life and I'm just so unhappy. Mortgage late. Water bill late. Electricity late. I always imagined myself financially stable before bringing children into this world. I expected help from parents as far as babysitting while I work, as much as I would love to be that amazing homemaker that cooks 3 meals a day, sends husband off with lunch, maintains a spotless home, never behind on laundry or monthly expenses and still looks absolutely stunning while doing it all. Unfortunately we can't afford for me to stay home and we can't afford childcare. So what now 🤧

Same. I got laid off in February and have yet to find a new job. I’m probably going to have to go back to my old one before this one I was laid off from. It’s a pay cut but I have no choice. Maybe you can Uber or Uber eats on the side and that can help? I wanted to stay home with my baby too and I’m honestly very ready to go back to work.

@Juju I've been applying to overnight shift like crazy, no luck. I tried grocery and food delivery, unfortunately doesn't work for us. We only have 1 gas guzzling car and baby hates car rides 😞

It’s hard out here, my husband and I got laid off last year we opened a home daycare in January and it’s helped us pay the bills and get to stay home, it’s a bit of hard work but it feels great to work for myself.

Dang. Maybe you can find something remote. They really don’t pay that much from what I’ve found but it’s still something. Good luck to you and us finding something!🩷🩷

@Ashley I've considered starting a daycare but husband is totally against it. How are you managing other people's children and your own? Do you have an age limit?

@Juju finding something I qualify for and don't need to talk on the phone is my biggest challenge with remote
