Back to work

[delilahhhxo_]

How long after birth do you all plan on returning to work? My man works now so I'll have to find something new, I'm not considering daycare I want to work while he's home n him work while I'm home. But it's his first...my second, & I want to make sure he knows everything & follows her routine. My mom lives states away & I DON'T trust my mil, my man gets upset when I say I don't trust her...but I just don't =/ what's yalls plans for work/babysitter/daycare whatever. ..

I do not blame you at all on the not trusting your mil I won't leave my boys woth y mil for more than a 2 hours at a time for the same reason. I have a cousin who will help when me and my bf are going to be gone for longer than that. You and hubby will have to work out the schedule for your little one in your six yo eight weeks off. My love works from home so I don't have that problem to often. Sorry you are. Good luck chicky

I do not trust my mother in law with my child either. she is just way too carelesS. she thinks its ok for little boys to do whatever they want or when they fall down and get hurt she told him to walk it off. She thinks its just boys being boys but its just her being fing careless

Im lucky to live in canada so im taking a full year since we get paid maternity benefits from tje government for that long. My 4 yo goes to daycare right now but he'll stay home with me and hell be in school by the time i go back.

I wish I could trust her you know, it's just I see how she is with my man's nieces & cousins & I can only think if a 5 yr old gets on her nerves how a crying baby will be. Her house is not the cleanest either. I trust my mom and his step mom but they are too far away. I'm just stressing on $$$ &, don't like to complain because right now I'm not providing anything financially. I feel like I relate to each one of you. My 4 yr old goes to daycare/school and he learns a lot from it. (Socially & mentally) I just know  For the first 3 months I will stay home but it's stressful thinking about it now, I just want a plan before shes 3 months & I haven't came up with a solution.

6 weeks, hopefully. The first are extremely important to spend together so your baby establishes who you are and how important you are. If you want to do child care start looking as soon as you can. I heard some places have a huge wait list.

I dont trust my MIL either because of my experience when i left my son with her and also too many cats and she do not clean in her house well i find it filthy.

I love the daycare my first child go to he loves to socialize and learns a lot, only problem is they accept only 2yrs old.

I.honestly just need 3hrs a day, i.dont have any family of my side over here...

Im a stay at home mum with my 3 yo son and id like to stay at home a year or maby work a few noights a week while my partner is home with the kiddies  

[knufrio]

I will be going back 4 months after my due date, and I'm going out two weeks before. I will hopefully be returning to work part time so that I only need daycare 2-3 days a week.

I feel the same way! I dont trust my mother in law or should i say my boyfriends mother. She hasnt taken care of a baby in 33 years. And I wonder why my boyfriends brother never allows his mother to take care of his son while shes alone with him. Shes two faced with me. Nice to me in front of my boyfriend and absent when hes not around. I want to go back to work 2 days after birth. Do whats best for you. Make sure you make a list and go through the list with him. And quiz him lol.
