Want to return to work after 2 months, but infant care around my area is all full and not available for ar least 2 years later, and my schedule is partially wfh, so it's not useful to find near my office also. Husband don't want a helper, or any stranger in our house, and I think it would be hard to take care of baby while I WFH, and what on the days I need to go to office for meetings? I'm afraid I, like other mothers, will have to give up my work to be SAHM, or quit my current job due to the pressure... I don't like the idea of being a SAHM and fully depend financially on my husband. What should I do?

hi dear mommy, this AskTheExpert session is over but I'll respond anyway. the infant care places are really not enough in some areas, I keep hearing cases of no vacancies. It's a tricky situation to be in. Just leave your name in the waiting list anyway. Sometimes they unexpectedly have people changing their mind so there might be a small chance. Make a joint decision with your husband, communicate openly and let him know your concerns. If you have considered all options like parents, in-laws and nannies, nothing feasible, then you might really have to be SAHM first. Plan for 6 months or 1 yr then review and see how it's going. It can be a big adjustment to become a SAHM, but with the right support and coping strategies you can do it! Reach out to me privately if you would like more specific guidance.
