Mom guilt
I’m feeling extremely guilty over here. I go back to work in January, and I made the decision to put my baby in daycare for 2 or 3 days a week these last couple weeks I’ll be on leave. This mom needs a BREAK! I’m sole caregiver for my 3-month-old for 12 hours of the day, plus the second half the night (I sleep 9-ish till 2-ish while husband is on baby duty during her long stretch of sleep). My husband has 1 or 2 days off every 10 days, and he never wants to take baby out of the house for a little while. I’m a big time introvert and I haven’t had alone time to recharge myself in months and it’s really getting to me. I love our baby with my entire being, but I need to take some time alone to get myself back. I want to clean the house, cook, play with our dogs, and have some mental quietness before jumping back into work full time and first-time-mama-hood at the same time. I have no family who can watch her for me. I feel really excited to have a little time, yet massive guilt and anxiety about doing this ☹️ oyyy
