To continue babysitting?

[happymommaproudmomma]

Hi moms. I need your advice. As we all know pregnancy is sacred. I have a 9 mo old and am 19 weeks pregnant. With my son I wanted nothing but peace for him to come into the world. I babysit a 14 mo old who keeps things a little bit high stress around our home and may be teaching my son habits I would like to avoid. It is good for him to learn to share his time now, but my hormones are making me extremely sensitive to our time together in his first year. I want to back out but love adding $90/week to our income. We could financially handle it without me babysitting though it may be more challenging. I am beginning to cloth diaper And am trying to save lots of money. Am I being strange about thinking I need this time to ourseleves? I feel selfish.

I dont think its selfish to want to spend time with your children..theyre your babies..and only young once..and a new baby will make it more challenging to spend time with the other siblings..i say do what u feel is right :)

If you feel you need the time to yourselves then go for it. Since you and your spouse can handle it financially and if your spouse is on-board go for it!
Your son will only be 9 months old once and your time of it being just him and you is very limited with a baby on the way. Enjoy it! :)
I stay home with my almost 2 year old son. I enjoy it so much. We do everything together, I'm taking in every moment because in 3 months I will have to share my time with another child. These days are 'once-in-a-lifetime'! Don't let it pass you by! :)
