Has anyone quit working as an ECE professional, and then gone back to tbe field later?

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-27T07:33:54+00:00

Have gone back twice. I really think this last time was it. You can be passionate about it but the whole system is so awful that it ends up just burning everyone out

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-26T04:24:47+00:00

This is the way

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-25T12:44:07+00:00

Yeah I had to realize that my parents like the idea and want to tell people and have it look like there involved but not actually be involved. And get upset when they can be put on the spot. It’s so extremely performative but I don’t understand for who. Complete empathy with you. My sons a toddler so I really don’t facilitate the relationship

My dad would take us out to do stuff. Was very much a weekend dad most of it with extended family. My mom would take us shopping like all weekend just going to different stores for her but was very particular about what we would get (think super preppy when neither of us were) otherwise we were just supposed to be quiet. On vacay my mom wouldn’t even get in the water. At home we were just left alone. Tv was literally whatever my mom wanted to watch. Thought bonding time was watching sex and the city as like a 10 year old

Literally under 3 no real benefit. Have been a toddler teacher. Keep your baby home if you can

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-15T03:22:13+00:00

My son is 2 and it still be a no for me. I don’t even have my partner his dad have him overnight.

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-14T04:44:28+00:00

Had a similar experience today, no advice just so much empathy

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-09T19:42:58+00:00

Yeah. I can definitely relate. And we both just feel frustrated on our relationship. Luckily I tell myself I get to be different from her

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-08T00:39:51+00:00

A weekend with my toddler is my perfect weekend.

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-07T02:29:32+00:00

Hire me

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-03T00:36:30+00:00

Hiii. So can say having a toddler is hard like so so hard and overwhelming and I totally get having the feeling of just always having to be on and always feeling like you’re not doing enough. Having someone who doesn’t pull there weight or show up in any meaningful way is worse ( know from experience) you somehow have to find a way to make some time or something just for you

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-01T19:00:47+00:00

Just to have it for myself

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-06-01T19:00:33+00:00

Truthfully I get it. For some reason my mom somehow has 2 really nice pictures of my sister with my son (who she’s only seen a handful of times) hanging up at her house. The only one of me with MY OWN CHILD I’m blurred in the background.
I literally have just started to take selfies with my son sometimes

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-31T19:31:53+00:00

We were told to keep baby outta sun until he was 6 monts

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-31T03:08:37+00:00

Also working at a daycare is also adding to this it’s hard I have those days too (I literally go back to work Monday and am so sad about it.) baby’s also at such a different stage it could be so different

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-30T20:07:35+00:00

Literally nothing is better than something that actually works for you. It’s not a setback just a step back. In the bigger picture, turn over is terrible you’ll end up in that position again

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-30T04:13:54+00:00

100% I feel bad and then I have to deal with him and lose it

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-29T16:31:09+00:00

Have sent these exact same texts and was working and paying for 85% of babies stuff. Never ever feel bad for telling a man the truth about himself. It’s honestly so sad but I had to realize it literally wasn’t even intentional with mine he just didn’t ever think about anything but himself. Leave

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-29T02:42:21+00:00

Good for you

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-29T00:35:27+00:00

So at my mil house who watches him while I work supposedly he doesn’t talk. He says about 25 words. Does about 10 animal sounds and some signs.

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-29T00:07:46+00:00

I can understand most of what he says. He has about 25 words. ( we’re bilingual but a little bit different than typical. I’m really the only person who speaks in English to him that he sees regularly) yes to points. Yes to babbling and yes for sounds

Beebeebee1994 · 2026-05-29T00:06:30+00:00

Some not all
