:-(

I miss my baby ...   She's at a new babysitters house... I really just want to be a SAHM and maybe watch another baby or something... I can't take this anymore. I'm so stressed out my body is freaking out, I'm in so much pain constantly... I need to see a Dr. I need to pay for 34097340239 things ahhhhhhhhhh... I just hate that she seems so sad when we leave      

Sorry, mini vent...

How old is she? And how long as she been at the new babysitters? I went through the same feelings when I first started taking my daughter to daycare. But she seemed to really enjoy it and after a while I felt good about it. Just remember that you're providing for your family while you go to work. That's part of being a good parent - doing what you've got to do to provide the best for her.

She's 9 months old... She's been with other babysitters before... but since this one is new, it's just hard to let her go...

I know, I keep telling myself that... since I'm working I give her a house and food and everything else she needs... but it's just soo hard...

I wish I could let Candice have a babysitter. BD thinks of any excuse not to take her and the only people I trust with her are my dad and stepmom and stepsister but they all watch her while I'm at school and are never willing to watch her any more than they have to so I'm SOL when it comes to "me" time. =/ I have plenty of people I know offer to babysit whenever I want them too but even though I've known them my whole life... I just find it hard to ask them to, I mean people say that but you never know if they're just being nice or they actually WANT to and I never want to impose. Besides, I would have to be around them a lot more with my daughter before I am willing to leave her with them.


I am with her ALL the time though, so I really wouldn't mind a babysitter every now and again.

My daughter is almost 9 months too. I totally know how you feel. Maybe you should consider watching a child at home so you can stay home with her? My girlfriend did that and madedecent money. Even just 1 child you can usually make $150 per week on average. Good luck!

Just noticed our daughters are only 2 days apart. Mine was born on 2/12.

Ha! I'm paying 250/week... Maybe it's CA, but everyone I've talked to is between 200-400!!!! Daycares are 200... erg.

Oh yes, it varies by area I'm sure. My daughter was in a really great daycare at first and I was paying $240 a week! It was killing us. Luckily one of my long time friends offered to watch her for only $150 a week. And she lives 5 houses down the street from us. We totally lucked out!
