    I was just thinking about the nursing job. My sister is a nurse and she regularly has to pull 12 to 14 hour shifts. And if she has a husband who refuses to watch the baby, what else is she to do? It still makes me sad that her baby isn't getting much Mommy loving time, but maybe the Mommy is broken up about it too and has no other options??

      The nurses around here have their own daycares. (also airline employees and USAA) that accommodate those special hours. The providers are paid by the parents, but also given money by the employer for working with those hours.

      The only reason I've never gotten into that is, that I really don't want to be available 24/7 like that... but, it's a good gig if you want it.

      This Mom works for a resort about 15 minutes from here, and her gym classes are on the way to work, but they start at 5:00, so she needs time to drive there. I bet she'd realize that 15 minutes isn't enough time, so she'd need to drop off at 4:30 a.m.

        Ah, so most likely her job security is dependent on her appearance so the gym time would be vital to keeping it.

        I am with you, though.... I can't do the long hours anymore. I did for many years, and am just no longer willing.
        - Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

          Some people should be spayed and neutered.

          Love this! ::

          The OP is just so sad though. Here I am stressing (and sometimes crying) and busting my butt to start a daycare because I feel so awful leaving my son in daycare for 7-8 hours day (my husband and I stagger our schedules so he can drop off late and I can pick up early) and others don't seem to mind if they NEVER see their child - and a newborn too! I just don't get it!
