@alina11 I’m only 26 and hadn’t established a career before having a baby. I’ve always worked in restaurants (mostly kitchens as a line cook/supervisor and once a manager). So if I wanted to return to that it’d be pretty easy to work my way up quickly. But whether I return to work next year or...

@wren84 Mine goes through phases like this when he’s teething

@rollo22 I am the same

@manga006 Least favorite: newborn Favorite: everything after 6 months when he started crawling, and then it got even better when he started walking at 10 months

@nell That’s one route to take! Idk why people feel so comfortable making weird comments about SAHP, I can’t think of any other job that gets the same back handed remarks

@aardverk When my baby had a fever he slept in just a diaper

@tayrobbs I talked to one mom who got on a daycare waitlist at 8 weeks pregnant and hadn’t gotten in by the time her son was 5 months!!! And I live just outside the biggest city in my (admittedly low pop) state. I was shocked

@adamman I read a post where a mom was crushed because she only got 2 hrs a day with her 10 month old. I literally couldn’t imagine being in that position! As hard as being a SAHM can be, it’s worth being there for all those moments

@yoshinat0r I’m honest. The nurse always asks where he sleeps, I say with me on our floor bed and she goes “ok!” There’s a note on his chart that always says “discussed safe sleep” but they never have really said anything about it

@greened67 I’m so glad your husband in understanding and a good father and partner!! I get so angry when I see posts where a working parent acts like the SAHP does nothing. Don’t let the judgmental people get you down, there’s providing financially but there’s also providing love, constant care...

@person47 I do. His chart always has a note that says “discussed safe sleep” or something like that but she never actually pushes back or says anything other than “ok!”

@rudytoot Daily: cooking/baking/meal prep, dishes, kitchen counters, sweep/spot mopping in kitchen, wipe down high chair, litter box Weekly: Fri = bathroom, Sat = cleaning bedrooms, Sun and Wed = sweep and vacuum living room and hallways, Mon = deep clean kitchen, Tues = trash/recycling/ cans...

@justicem First 3 months are an eternity. 3-12 months I’d like that guy blinking meme

@malieta For sure, some couples genuinely can’t afford it.

@ukpatco Damn paying for daycare for 3 under 3 would be be like another mortgage and a half

@gtdispomed9093 Exactly, it’s like hell I’m broke either way in this economy

@jlt83 Being a SAHM is definitely teaching me how to let things roll off my back! I’m only a little less than a year in tho, so I’m still working on it lol

Is anyone else a SAHP because you can’t afford NOT to be? I love being a SAHM but I also have to be bc if I was paying for daycare, it’d cost about 75%+ of my income. That’s assuming I could even get a spot at a daycare. I’d rather be home with my baby myself than make a little bit more money...

@ajewelinhiscrown I do almost 100% of household work but my husband would never say something like that. Cause he KNOWS I always do the dishes. Also I only do 100% of household work bc he works a job that requires hard physical labor. If he worked from home I would probably want him to do more...

@angeliqueg I’ll never understand how people see cosleeping as selfish. It’s literally all your baby wants. They’re close to you, you respond to their needs immediately, they feel safe and warm
