So I’m a first time mum. I love my baby and was dreaming to be able to stay with my baby home for the first 2-3 years. Maybe eventually working a bit after she is 1y/1.5y, but be primarily with my baby. Reality is that I’m having a high paying job that I’m super grateful for and if I don’t work or reduce working, it would be quite a hit, plus I sont know how quickly I could find a new job. But despite that we do have jobs, we don’t have financial freedom such that I could actually stop working or reduce it. I’ve read about secure attachment where you should stay with yoir baby the first 3 years and I’m devastated. I was struggling financially before I don’t want my children to go through it, so I’m trying to give them some stability. But I cannot bear the thought that my baby will be with strangers i kita for many hours. I just wanted to share it… submitted by /u/Master-Economics-168
