How do u ladies work and care for baby?!

Do you baby wear?

I don't work from home but I work at a daycare where my son attends. I am lucky for that much but I will tell you working full time and only being able to be with my son for about 1-3 hours a day I don't clean I have stopped cooking I have stopped doing anything that I don't 100 percent absolutely need. Nobody helps me clean the house and right this second nobody else is working. I'm burnt out giving everything I have so I stopped the only person getting my extra effort is my son because these moments slip by so fast. And I'd rather have a clean healthy happy baby than a perfect house, even if it still stresses me out that it's a disaster area. I don't know how they expected all of it from us we are only human too. And the jobs we do might not be manual labor but every job has its own mental load.

I agree, you can't

I considered quitting every day until I finally did when my son turned two. Best day ever.

I work from home but my babies are in daycare. It is not fair on my babies, me or my company if I can't give my fully attention and run myself down. Cudos to the Mamas that are able too but my job is too demanding

I work from home and everything I do is on a schedule.

I have a friend who did that as she couldn't fund daycare solution for months. She almost lost her mind. And her husband was helping as much as he could, same for MIL. She also felt she neglected her job. So yes, some do it, but at which cost, it's hard. Your baby also deserves more attention and stimulated activities throughout the day. I really hope I won't have to do it even if it's for a short period of time. I still don't know how childcare will be for my unborn baby, crazy waiting list for nursery

For the vast majority of jobs I don’t think it’s feasible, it also relies on your baby having a certain temperament. I don’t think it fair on your child, yourself or your employer, ultimately why should a company pay you to work and care for a child when they could just have someone who focuses on work 100%.

I work nights he works days. It’s hard but everything gets paid and we don’t use childcare . Emotionally draining for me but ehh I guess someone gets the short end of the stick

“We” don’t do this to ourselves some women do it to themselves! I stay home and my husband works and he still come home and cooks and cleans or rubs my feet after a long day especially if he feels my day has been long I wasn’t marrying nobody who wasn’t catering and serving me that shit is dead I’m not laying down having children risking my life for somebody who don’t think my job is “serious” like wtf lol I couldn’t see myself doing it that’s why I didn’t! Cause he would have pissed me off bad lol

I have a 2 and half year old and I have been by working from home since she turned 11months. It’s been a blessing! It’s by no means a walk in the park and definitely depends on the job and how supportive the company/management are. But importantly, in the beginning I lived with family so I would have help in the mornings (tried to schedule all meetings for then) if I needed to go into the office for a day or had something really important that day, my partner would book a day off or my mum would book a day off. My manager knew my situation and was supportive thankfully so there were times when I had a screaming baby in the background and just had to get on with it. She’s now in nursery 1 day a week and my husband also works from home 2days a week so the 2days I’m home alone with her, it’s all about organising and scheduling. We have a lot of screen time in our home.

I don’t work because someone is forcing me to, actually my family thought I was strange when I started to find a job 2months pp then started working 11months pp. I did it so we could save faster which allowed us buy our home, our car and be financially independent but most importantly, I have support all around me, I am not a single married mother.
