So, I am already a mother to a 4 year old and we are blessed because I work at the preschool at my church and she goes there & will attend the private academy next year. My husband and I went over our budget and bills last night and we decided that I will have to work. I’m grateful because my church also owns a daycare that accepts 6 week old babies and my director will let me take breaks to breastfeed. Although all these things are wonderful, it’s still heart breaking thinking about putting my baby in that young. My daughter was 16 months before going to daycare. I guess I’m asking for advice from mothers who have done this & words of encouragement.

(Do not tell me I need to stay home - it’s financially impossible EVEN if I kept my daughter home and homeschooled her or sent to a public school)
