When I went back to work, motherhood became a discouraging puzzle of sick days and child care | CBC News LoadedFor new mom Abby Wilson, her daughter's crib represents her endless struggle navigating a career, child care and illness. Now the crib is ready for a new child, but Wilson doesn’t know if she can tackle it all again.Abby Wilson’s daughter, Hazel, and the crib that came to symbolize Wilson’s struggle to navigate parenthood while juggling a career, sick days and child care.
My toddler started getting sick. Her new immune system was being introduced to daycare just as pandemic restrictions were lifting and a backlog of illnesses was recirculating. We tried to take turns staying home with her but my husband had less flexibility. I dismantled the puzzle, gathered the new pieces and started on another. Our cost for child care dropped as our daycare became a $10-per-day site. Meanwhile, I started developing my own art business while working on-call at the library.
Sometimes people tell me things like, "Being a mom is the most important job in the world," or "These early years go so fast so enjoy every minute." Even, "You chose to have children — you should be grateful to care for them."
