Sahm struggling with my mental health. I feel maybe going back to work part time will help but the thought of putting my baby in daycare kills me 😓 please help

I’ve been home for 3 yrs I barely go out only stay home and also my relationship has been so toxic I’m ready for a change I’m going crazy 😣 but the only thing holding me back is my baby being in daycare she’s 18mo. What do you recommend?

I would honestly suggest before doing daycare to check how much Montessori school is, sometimes it’s close in cost and better tbh for them, or doing head start program that is low income based, my mom did that with little bro. Or remote work so u save money if u can’t do head start. I’m looking into part time work as well

Consider a nanny/in home care.

Why don't you start by going to playgroups and going to free library activities? I find having days planned to do things definitely helps with my mental health

Going back to work was the best thing I did. I was not working my whole pregnancy and then until my daughter was 3. When I went back I honestly didn't know how I had coped not working for the best part of 4 years. I am 38 weeks pregnant with my second and had to leave my job in November and already I miss work. I will probably go back to work when baby is about a year old
