Anyone work from home full time with a toddler?

Question

I work from home full time with a toddler, my hubby works night shift so our schedules are completely opposite. I don't have help during the days, no family or friends around.
It has been really stressful and most days I'm juggling taking care of my toddler, the house work and working in between any chance I get a free moment. I'm exhausted to say the least. 
I'm trying to minimize my stress this pregnancy but work is SO busy, it's becoming a huge burden. 
I'm trying to decide if it's worth the stress or if I should talk to my employer to lessen my role or just quit to be a SAHM since I'll have two little ones to care for by the end of the year.  
What would you ladies do?

Answer

Kinda. My husband and I both work from home, and he’s very hands on with our toddler. Honestly could not do it without him but if everything goes well with this pregnancy we will definitely be choosing a daycare.

Answer

If you have the means to quit working, I’d say do it. That’s A LOT of responsibility. I couldn’t do it. I have a 2.5 year old, a dog, a husband who works from home (and therefore, eats from home-meaning I cook for him all day too lol), and a 3k square foot house to keep clean between the 3 of them. THAT exhausts me. Don’t overdo it. Your body and mind need rest too 🤍

Well kinda, my partner works from home as an IT engineer in the middle of our living room 😂 and I work as a freelance makeup artist on the road and have my own online webshop running from home! What helped us allot is to keep switching between looking after our little one when anything important is going on work wise but next to that one major thing has been our life saver and that is the big ass ground playpen we got it’s kinda just half our living room being 100% baby safe with all kind of toys like in a daycare and our girl has been very independent playing on her own while we work and entertain in between. She is very close to us so we can constantly interact with het but also focus on some work. My hub works +-40h week and my hour are from 0 to 40 so we have very varying weeks with every day a different routine but we always try to have breakfast/luch together in-between meetings from my partner.

Answer

I don't see how it's possible to work a full time job while watching little ones. I worked part time from home when my 1st was little but by the time he could walk and communicate it got really hard. I needed to be available to take calls from patients and was unable to because he wanted my attention. Not enough nap hours in a day to make up for it.

Answer

I'm working part time hours with a 9 month old (self employed and I didn't know I could apply for EI, so no mat leave for me). I'm also in Canada so I understand not getting child care! It's way too expensive for the little I make. I'm trying to make it work while he's up, but I can only be productive through his naps. I'm hoping that with moving and having an office space I'll at least be able to keep him contained in there with me while I work.

Answer

Is getting child care not an option? You really cannot do your job without child care.
