I've been truly blessed to only have to work part time after having my daughter. Returning to work was this dark cloud that hung over my maturity leave. I prayed and cried because the job I had was so high stress I couldn't imagine coming home from it and being able to tend to a sick baby and an exhausted husband. We won't even talk about my reservations about daycare.
Our daughter is going to be a year old soon and we haven't had to put her in daycare. She gets Daddy/daughter time in the morning and she's with me most of the day. Did it take some adjustments to keep our finances in check? Definitely. But it has been worth every pinched penny. I love that the hubby and baby bear have their own time during the day to just enjoy each other. It has gotten to the point that if I come home early she looks at me like...What are you doing here so soon? The first time it happened I was in shock...now I use that extra time to do something for myself. Their mornings together may have made her a bit crazy but it has also allowed my husband to enjoy and flourish in his role as Iron Man...I mean Daddy. Their morning videos are some of the most precious moments we have recorded.
It simply isn't possible for me to be a full time stay at home mom right now but you won't hear me complain about being part time. Who knew going back to fast food would be such a blessing?
