The Working Special Needs Mom…

So, how does one do it? Work and be Mom of the Medically Fragile?

I need to know.

I have a job interview. For a real, big girl job. In my field. At a large hospital. In a position that I, a few years ago, could have only dreamed about.

I don’t really want to work full time. But, the bills accrued by having a SN kid…

astronomical.

(I really can’t expect my husband to carry all that on himself)

 

I’m torn in so many ways. On one hand, I want to work and make the world of nursing a better place. I want patients to feel loved and be treated holistically. Yet I also want to make sure that my family has what they need. I have babysitting lined up in the form of my gal pal.That’s a God-send.

I’m terrified.

 

So tell me…do you work? How does it work for you? Do you carry much guilt? How do you do it?

 

I’m so torn…
