Tonight I made a horribly tough decision but in the end it will be the best one. After going back to work 2 months ago we started on a journey that had its perks but also great downfalls. My child is sick every week from daycare and it is sooo expensive.
Though we come out slightly ahead in the end it just doesnt add up to be worth the trouble for the small amount of extra cash after daycare. I can make half of the extra cash by working online and the rest is just disposable income that we wont miss. And if we do we will just get over it.
I quit tonight. I sent in a letter of resignation like a wimp. It KILLED me to be away from my child everyday. I just cannot do it. And that was not the only reason but it sure was my main one. I liked getting out of the house and all but I feel sooo bad that my child has gotten sick constantly because of Daycare. Not only that But I leave the house at 8am to take him to daycare and go to work and I do not get home until almost 7 each day. Thats alot of time I am missing in his little world. Is that worth a couple hundred bucks? Nope. Its not even worth 500 bucks or 1000. I can work hard from home and get a night job and be happier as a mother that can spend the day teaching, feeding, snuggling, and kissing on my sweet son. On top of that it will enrich my marriage which fell unto alot of stress with going back to work.
Soo....who knows where this saga goes. Wish me luck.
I do know I am the happiest momma on earth that I get to smell my sweet baby and cuddle him whenever I please now. I have a wonderful husband that supports my decisions fully and completely and an understanding family. I am a rich woman when it comes to life. And I am happy in that.

I understand completely. When Avery was 3 months, I took her to a big daycare and after 2 days she already had an eye infection and a nasty cold. It tears you up, and you feel so greedy! It's a mother's curse! I did the same thing, and pulled Avery from daycare and stayed home. Thank goodness for Sally b/c Avery is always well, and I get to work a tad too. Just know you are doing what's best for you and your kiddo. You'll find a way to make ends meet! If you do ever decided to go back, Sally just lost a kiddo to school, so she has an opening! :)
