[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pregnant and when I give birth my baby will be almost 2. Am I supposed to take care of a 2 year old and a newborn[b] by myself [/b]on my 3 month maternity leave? I was barely able to take care of my first child when she was a newborn. I am confused -- what do people do? My DH will probably be able to take 2 weeks off work (maybe) if even that. My mother is in the area, but she is older and can only help a very limited amount. Do most people hire someone? If so, where do I find someone to help? Do mothers do this on their own?[/quote] This is not meant to be mean or anything, but really? What do you think most of us who stay home do when we add another kid to the family? I would assume that you would leave your older child in daycare during maternity leave. But if you cannot take care of a newborn and a 2 year old "by yourself," then whey did you have kids. I am not trying to say this in a mean way, but I am being serious. [/quote]
