I have been up since 4am with my one year old, who gas a virus. Third night in a row. I'm in the middle of a big project that I'm meant to be managing but which is going tits up . Today I have a meeting with the woman who hired me. I feel like saying I just had no idea how difficult this would be with a baby - I can't respond to things quickly, I can't commit to meetings outside normal working hours, I can't function well when ds is ill or not sleeping. Aibu to get a lower paid, 9 to 5 office job for the forseeable? Would I ever make it back into my career? Or should I just accept that you can't have a freelance career and a young child unless you can afford a live in nanny?

AIBU?
Or is it impossible to freelance when you have young children?
