Welcome Miranda! And phooey on those who try to guilt us. It’s petty, but I like to think they are jealous we can go out for lunch and such. It’s hard, that’s for sure. But we’ll get thru this together.

I am very excited. I am a single working mom, and it will be very nice to have some support. I am surrounded by the vibe that I had no business having a child if I was just going to let daycare raise her. It is very offensive and heartbreaking to me because I live for my daughter, and the truth is, in this society I don’t have a choice. Hell, in this society even double income house holds don’t have the choice.

I am looking for some support. I have been a full time working mother earning a decent salary, managing a large department of over 40 employees. I have been asking for a parttime job for the entire 7 years at this company. Now they offered and I accepted. I have a whirlwind of issues in my head - lower income, and my husband and I keep our finances separate, a different job with less “drama” (which is so different from my adrenaline pumping other job), and less into my retirement and more dependence on my husband. I am into my first month, still feeling the loss as negative - even thought this is for more time with my son - which makes it all worthwhile. Then why am I feeling a sense of loss and confusion? I don’t expect any specific help, just good to get it out.
