I am a working mum, no help from extended family /helper & send my child to ifc . Most of the time child will end up sick & have to stay home, and with the wfh situation, I am very lucky and happy to spend a lot of time with my LO at home. I find it very draining when I have to attend to my LO whole day & sometime it’s mentally draining & tiring that I will lose temper at her. (Hence, salute to all the sahm). So infant care/school give a good balance of time “apart”. I will feel more “recharged” & will miss my LO throughout the day and can’t wait to fetch her home to spend time together.
