- Doesn't mean I can't get my work in on time
- Means that daycare closes every once in awhile and their closed dates do not always coincide with work's paid holidays. I have to take those days off. I don't have any other options.
- Means that he comes first. Always.
It is still strange for me to be on the other side of infertility. So many times I feel like I shouldn't ever complain. Not that I take a second of being a mom for granted, but, there are a lot of things that I thought would be easier than they are when it comes to caring for a small child. I actually take back a lot of things that I might have said back in my bitter infertile days. The work situation is one of those things. I regret complaining about not being able use a kid as an "excuse" to leave work (those were my old words). It is definitely not an excuse- it is very real. I also was naive to think that it would make my marriage better and more beautiful but the reality is that it adds a whole new level of complexity and complication to the relationship. We have to work harder than ever to keep our marriage happy.
