There are days, sometimes weeks, when I really consider finding a way to stay home with my girl full time.

I love my job. I do, I really love it. But… but when my kid is sick, my husband and I have to scramble, compare schedules and negotiate who will have to miss their meetings “this time”… I think it would be so nice to just be able to stay with her comfort her and not feel constantly torn. I know its hard to be a stay at home parent- I don’t want to be one… i don’t think I do anyway... 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just wish I could be more present when I AM at home with her when she’s ill. My mind is constantly in two places. I hate that.

Btw! If you’re still reading… how often does your lo get sent home from daycare? My child comes home “sick” at least once a month (which means we miss work for two days due to a 24hour rule … even when it’s just teething).
