Feeling guilty/ overbearing

[user1496701154]

I am feeling guilty I don't work and neither does other half. Both mental health problems. I was made redundant when I was 3 months pregnant. I am now looking back into going to work however childcare would cost 40+ a month making it nearly impossible until little one is 2 when we get the 15 hours free mark it easier to afford childcare.

My othr thing for over bearing is I take my little one he's 10 months to 7/8 play groups a week. Am I been overbearing or just doing what's right. He's an only kid. He loves socialised with other babies.

Are you both looking for work? Can you both get part time jobs and as much as possible work alternate hours? Or can you work and your oh continue to stay at home? Have you looked into family tax credits? I am not sure how this makes you over bearing. In an ideal world neither parent working does not make a good role model.

That is a lot of okay groups? Why so many? Only you know your child and how it is impacting in them. At that age I would have never had any time with DD without others just for us and she would not have enough naps. Every family is different, do you think it is too many for your child?

We're both looking for work but it'd not that easy to get a job yo work with childcare. It'd getting the jobs and travelling for lo childcare he hates been home with daddy alone.

So many groups as I hate been cooped up in the house. However little one does love them and he still naps. I can see how it has helped him develop he loves people and seeing other children. My child loves his playgroups he'd got no other sibling why I do it.
