SAHM.. hardly any support.. no babysitters

I wanted to talk/ask a couple things. I’ve been a stay at home mom since my daughter was born, she’ll be two in September. My husband and i have rarely gotten a litttle time to ourselves or gone out on a “date”. I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but it really sucks that my mom or sister hasn’t been supportive much. I thought I would have a little more support. I get it might not be some people’s thing- but the fact that I’ve hardly had any time to myself to decompress or relax is crazy to me. I get I’m a mom, my child is my responsibility yadda yadda- but it blows my mind my husband and I feel like we have no one to turn to except for his mom for the most part although she doesn’t respect some of the things we ask her not to do so it makes us a little weary. Can anyone relate to this? I really am going insane never having a little break. I feel so hesitant to ask my mom to watch my child sometimes cause I feel like it’s just such a pain and responsibility for her that she doesn’t want to have so I often just don’t. I’ve looked on care.com but haven’t had luck. I do plan on going back to work whenever I can find a job so daycare will be in the near future but for now my husband and I are thinking about having her start out with two days a week so it gives me a little flexibility with going on interviews and getting what I need to get done uninterrupted and maybe a day to myself. Thoughts?
