Mag aral or mag stay muna sa bahay para alagaan si baby habang maliit pa sya

Hello po, gusto ko lang mag labas ng nararamdaman ko. First time mom po ako, and btw i am 21 years old. Nung hindi ko pa alam na buntis ako, nag aaral ako that time and I was in my 3rd year college kaso nag stop po ako dahil gusto ko healthy ung pagbubuntis ko at hindi puro stress lalo na ung sitwasyon ko that time ung bf ko nag cheat sa akin then fam prob nagsabay sabay so i sacrificed my studies. Nag stop ako ng 1 yr hanggang manganak ako this year february. Kaso sabi po ng mil ko, continue ko na daw po pag aaral ko this year sya nalang mag aalaga sa anak ko. Kaso parang hindi ko pa po kaya. Parang ang hirap hirap iwan ng baby ko, lalo na 6months palang sya kung sa august mag aaral na ako. Lalo na nagpapadede din po ako. Gusto ko icherish yung moment namin together while she's still a baby. Pero iniisip ko rin yung pangarap ko para sakanya, na kung maka graduate ako agad e mabibigay ko ung mga needs and wants nya pag nag work ako. Hindi ko alam kung paano magdedesisyon. Kung mag aral naba ako or mag stay muna ako sa bahay para alagaan yung anak ko. Sa mga first time mom po ba, ano po ginawa nyo after manganak? Nag stay lang ba kayo sa bahay? Nagtrabaho naba agad or nag continue ng pag aaral?? Pls give me advice naman po. Tia. #FTM

Iba-iba po kasi situation natin, so there's really no wrong or right answer ☺️ Ang masasabi ko lng, eitherway, you'll be making a huge sacrifice whether you decide to be a stay-at-home, or working/ student mom. May pros and cons eitherway, it's just a matter of alin ang mas matimbang para sa iyo. ☺️ Personally , I suggest you go back to school if you have someone trustworthy na pwede mag-alaga kay lo while you're away. It's good dahil 6 months na pala si baby by then, at least pwede na sya magsolids. Pwede mo pa rin naman mai-maximize yung time na meron kayo ni baby-- "quality, not quantity", ika nga ☺️ Hindi naman porke hindi kayo 24/7 magkasama ay hindi mo na maibibigay ang best mo. Actually, para sakin mas nakakapagod talaga ang maging full-time mom. Having a career and a social life at work keeps me sane and healthy, so medyo recharged ako pag-uwi ko ng bahay to take care of my baby. Kapag nasa bahay ako, I give him my full attention as much as I can. Ang yaya, mon to fri, 7am to 5pm lang. Exclusively breastfeeding kami noon at extended breastfeeding sya ngayon at 2yo. Even though I initially planned to become a full-time mom, I'm really glad that I'm working now kasi not to mention the daily needs but also being able to pay for our insurance and save up for our future, it gives me peace of mind ☺️ Super needy and clingy si lo mo now, but at 2yo they start to become more independent, and at the same time you start to regain yours. To have a 2 yr work gap, medyo challenging na so I imagine it's even more difficult sa school. So I suggest that if you can, go back to school and get a job. Marami nang possibilities ngayon, specially with the online setups, so I hope you can be in a setup that works for you. Being a full time mom definitely is NOT easy but it can be considered as a luxury in a way that it means that your partner/ family is financially stable and can afford that you stay home. Kasi if medyo hirap din kayo sa financial, then I'm afraid magiging miserable rin kayo. Money is not the most important thing, sure, but it is still very important. You just have to learn to balance. If and when you study/ work, just don't get too engrossed in what you're doing that you forget why and for what/ who you're doing it for ☺️ Good luck, mommy 🤗
