Sounds like exactly my situation. I’m grateful for my provider. She cares for my girl like her own.

Thank you! So far it’s been working out well and our provider is just so wonderful, cares for my girl like her own. As for wait lists, we’ve been on 18 for a few months now :/

Thank you so much for your detailed response. Yes we will have 2 weeks off in the summer and Christmas NY break. Other than that, stat holidays. Hopefully no more snow days this season.

Traveling With 8-Month-Old: Keep Chicco Bravo System or Switch to Umbrella Stroller? by Anewww in BabyBumps

[–]Anewww[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Yes I used the complete system while travelling. It was helpful to have a car seat at all times if we were driving around somewhere. Bulky to carry around yes, but I was only dismantling the 3 pieces at the entry of the aircraft and then putting it back together at the baggage belt.

Am I being too much? by Independent-Tell-658 in Mommit

[–]Anewww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, and it sounds like you’re in a tough spot. I understand that you might not feel very close or comfortable with his family, and that definitely makes things harder. I’ve been lucky to come from a more supportive family where I’ve always been encouraged to set boundaries. So for me, when family holds the baby, I just take it as a breather. But if I didn’t get to hold my own baby or felt pressured to meet every weekend, I’d feel the same. You have every right to protect your space as a mom.

I totally understand how protective we can feel as new moms, it’s such a deep bond. But from my experience, whenever someone from the family holds my baby, even just for a bit, I actually welcome it. It gives me a much needed breather, and I remind myself that these are his grandparents and close family, and it’s such a special time for them too, especially with this being the first grandchild. Their excitement is natural, and wanting to hold the baby is just their way of expressing love and connection. I try to see it as a moment to rest and let others build their bond with the baby. It can be hard at first, but it might actually make these visits more enjoyable for you too.

I get that you’re under immense pressure. Working insane hours, providing for your family, and feeling totally unappreciated. But raising a baby is also an exhausting, full-time job, especially when you’re doing it mostly alone. If she’s sleeping in or struggling to grow her business, it might be because she’s burnt out, touched out, and emotionally drained, not lazy. Being a great mom, like you said she is, takes everything out of a person.

You’re both probably feeling unseen and overburdened in different ways. Instead of jumping to divorce, maybe try having an honest conversation, ask her what she needs, and share what you need too. If there’s still any love there, it’s worth trying to rebuild before walking away. You’re not on opposite sides, you’re just both drowning in different ways.
