A Redditor woman had shared a story she had experienced with her mother. The woman explained that her mother was not working since 1992, and she was a stay-at-home mother for the most of her life.
29-year-old woman had explained that when she talked with her mother about taking care of her kids, while she was working, her mother stated that she should stay at home with her children instead of working. And let her husband be the provider of their house, like a “traditional family.”
OP explained that if they would do what her mother is suggesting, then they would declare bankruptcy, as they are financially struggling, especially after the recession of the pandemic. OP explained that she is making $55,000 annually, and she is paying $39,000 for the student loans annually and an extra $20,000 for debts.
The Redditor explained that her husband was making $36,000 annually, and he was also paying $5,000 monthly. OP shared that as she was the one who is receiving the most money, she can’t stop working, as her husband wouldn’t be able to handle the financial issues on his own. OP also shared that they need to save money for enlarging their house, as their baby would need a room.
“We are currently in a small, 1 bedroom apartment in a metropolitan area, and would need to save money to move to a 2 bedroom once the baby grows up in a couple of years as we will need more space.” OP shared.
OP wrote in her post, “When I explained all thr above to my mom, she then proceeded to say that she will charge me $20 for each hour she takes care of the baby, plus late fees if we are late for pickup, and must provide her with a carseat, stroller, bottles, and pretty much double of everything we have at our home to compensate for taking the baby to her house.”
OP then explained that she can’t handle with the money her mother wanted from her to take care of her grandchild. “I’m on the fence about enrolling my baby into an infant daycare instead as the cost will overall be lower and a little closer to our home.” OP wrote.
“Due to our jobs, we cannot work from home so we are in desperate need of childcare. Everyone else in our family works full time so they cannot help us as they have a similar 9-5 schedule.” The troubled woman concluded her post.
