[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, my mom calls to complain I am not working. (of course, she forgets to mention that she'll rarely help out so it makes it impossible for me to work).

No matter what you do or choose, it will never be good enough for her.  Accept it and move on.  If working makes you happy, continue.  You being happy will make you a far better mom.  My mom never could have stayed at home.  We all would have been in the looney bin.[/quote]

No, I get that.  The problem is that I'm completely underwater and I wouldn't be if I wasn't working.

I wanted to scream today.  Everyone always says "Call someone if things get out of hand," and I got no support.[/quote]

Really, even if you were home you'd feel that way.  The first few years, even with one child are hard.  Just take care of the immediate needs and the other stuff can wait till the kid gets older.  Also, a little tv (especially learning things like leap frog videos) or an iPad are ok in moderation.  I so wish I had allowed it sooner.  Working makes you happy.  Do not second guess yourself.  Maybe hire a housekeeper every two weeks, if anything.[/quote]
