It’s challenging and imperfect. I’ve learned to be creative. Your baby is priority. If you can access help while working from home, use it. Make sure you ask partner for help. As moms we sometimes forget to ask for help. Partners need to help too.

I hate that we have a society that makes moms feel guilty about taking care of sick kids. I’m not going to apologize for parenting my child. It’s not our fault that our system is not set up for child-rearing. You’re working two full-time jobs right now, you are allowed to give yourself some grace:
