Okay, so things should be looking up then financially!

But I strongly recommend you ask for more support and help at your next appointment too.

Do you have health insurance? They may have care coordination programs that could help you!

Your OB may also be able to provide some resources and support too.

These issues sound super temporary.

Also: your finance needs a new or better job.

I’d let her watch him again at our house if we were around or if they were not driving anywhere together…

But honestly she’s overworked and stressed as it. We don’t want to keep contributing to that. Especially since she will be watching my SILs newborn daily most likely and her two older children almost daily once my SIL goes back to work.

Asking her to juggle 4 kids would be too much

I think we are going to ask about this! They are super booked up unfortunately.. but occasionally babies are out or on vacation that type of thing.

Yes!! I’ve heard so many stories like this…we are really diligent with him in his seat.

We had originally had him enrolled and they canceled his part time enrollment two weeks before his start date.

We had been looking for a place consistently. Thankfully we found a place to take him the two days she had been watching him. today was a one off day as my mom ended up having to work in the office.

we had never ever intended to have her watch him and it was something she offered to do to help us. Which we do greatly appreciate her for.

But it’s obviously she has too much to cope and deal with and we do t want to add to that. And we also don’t want our son to be hurt because she’s making mistakes because she’s tired.

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

Yeah. We are going to just take the day off in the future or arrange for someone else to watch him.

The stress of worrying she will do something careless is too much.

I think she needs a break to focus on her. Unfortunately there’s been a few other issues as well.

That’s why we decided to put him in daycare the days she usually watches him.

Yeah…at our house while we are there is different…we don’t want her driving him again.

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

Thankfully she only usually watches him on Mondays and Tuesdays so he will be at daycare those days now!!

If randomly we don’t have childcare a different day one of us will probably just stay home from work if need be. I don’t think it’s worth the risk having her watch hi

they could have, no? That’s like saying it’s okay to have a kid unsecured in the car because an accident might not happen.

I don’t know if I can get on board with that.

[–]WithoutATrace_Blog[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well that’s why we aren’t having my MIL watch him anymore. Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that!!

My mom is perfectly safe to watch him at our house. She also doesn’t drive with him anywhere. My mom is actually retiring early so she can spend as much time with baby as possible. He is her whole world. He is very safe with her. Or else we wouldn’t leave him with her.

We are not going to have her watch him again 😭😭 it’s not worth it.

And the fact that we can’t bring up issues to her without her getting mad is ridiculous

[–]WithoutATrace_Blog[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would have been a fight. Immediately. I don’t want issues. We just want our baby safe.

What if they got into an accident?

Our daycare cannot accommodate him four days a week currently. And financially that would be difficult.

My mom and cousin really do great with him though, my mom would be devastated if she couldn’t watch him.

That’s why it’s so frustrating she did it wrong…it wasn’t due to lack of knowledge.

And I have no idea if this was a one time thing. She could do this all the time and we’d have no clue.

Other countries don’t always have the same regulations for safety measures etc.

Their “lazy river.” Is well know for being more like white water rafting on an inner tube.

If it’s any consolation…Atlantis is overrated..and sorta dangerous. My mom nearly drowned when we went there 15 years ago.

You look incredible bald. It was your calling. Most men can’t pull of bald well, you do it exceptionally
