New SAHM rant

I’m on the verge of tears right now. I just had our first baby in November , I’m a new mom. I worked as a preschool teacher for years , barely took any vacation time . Going from that , having my own money to now only depending on my husbands income. Is nerve wracking. I know we’re married , but I feel horrible having to depend on him. He doesn’t complain at all , he works so hard for us and gives us all the care and love in the world. I love spending time at home bonding with my baby . I don’t have a car though and we just moved to a new area about an hour away from my family. I want to work but I literally can’t afford to right now. My husband is a firefighter so his hours aren’t constant , it’s not like he can take me certain days to and from work . His schedule is all over the place. I know his money is our money but I can’t help but feel bad for some reason.

Well you mentioned that you were a preschool teacher idk how they do it in your state but you should be able to sub and pick when to work. I know where I live they have an app you can pick to work day by day

I was poorly when I had my baby last year and I struggled to get to the corner shop three doors down. I used to sit at home for hours thinking how I would manage my part time retail job. Thankfully it's all fallen into place and been back at work for 5 months. If I was a teacher I would miss it too. Like someone said on her you could do sub work ☺️ talk to your husband and work on a back to work plan 👍

Hi im a teacher ☺️ how about working remotely as a travel agent ? I book travel in spare pockets of time and it's easy money if I am honest. I also earn and save on my own trips . I'd be happy to share info .
