Self Employed Mummies

[redgum]

Thanks Jennifer & Ladybird!

I think I need to not stress about these things. I know I / we are doing the best we can right now and I need to not compare myself to non-working mums. DD is loved and cared for and I am trying to build our future through this business. We will get there and I suppose with every new business comes a high stress factor which isn't a great combo for a first time mum. BUT my daughter is thriving and I know she feels loved. It's always nice to know your not alone.

Thank you

Hiya Pumpgirl - Just wanted to stop by and wish you all the best. You know my story and I can relate to what you are going through right now. I'm sure that being the perfectionist that you are you are putting Waaaayy to much pressure on yourself. It takes a few years to get your business up and running and getting good returns. You really jumped in with both feet in starting your business and starting your family at the same time. You are strong and smart and one thing I've noticed is that once you let yourself relax from your own self-pressure you always jump ahead in the game again. You are right, your DD is very much loved and you do a fantastic job and you must be so proud of yourself and the things you have accomplished in such a short period of time. Hang in there - being self employed is very satisfying and extremely rewarding.

I just worked my 3rd shift back today. 4.5hours. I enjoyed it. Will do most Sundays from now on but I'm not planning to go back to anything more for a while yet.
