Last few years has been wild, with not only the COVID spreading and locking down countries, I also got a kid.
I used to work like 16 hours a day before I got my kid, and now it’s hard to even be on top of the 37 hours week of work.
He is almost 3 years old, he is the sweetest boy I could ever wish for, that said I am not at all unhappy about remaking my life for him.
I just wish for him to be happy, anyhow I just wish I could get a normal day routine working.
The main problem is that I have one and a half hour to the office, so that means 3 hours a day on transportation, and my husband don’t have a car and cannot fetch the son from daycare himself yet.
I have been considering to quit my job and find another job, either something locale or fully remote.
This is my first real job and I have been there for almost years now.
I like it there, cause they allow me to also work on my own SaaS platforms when there is no work at their office, which is quite often lately l.
So I’m split, cause I wanna have a stable work/personal life situation, for both myself, my husband and my kid, but also I really like this job.
I also need the money, cause I recently bought a house.

For my birthday, I would just like you guys opinions on life and priorities that you do yourself between you work and personal life. Thanks all 🙌

I personally understand you regarding the work, I'm 27, turning 28 in 1 week. I'm currently working in IT and after my main job I study every night at home for a security engineer career, even the week-end so I don't go out often, however I don't have kids yet, and I don't plan to get or even get married so ... My case is not the same as your but I spend most of my time between work and study.

I would place my job at first, but that's because it's the only thing I have (don't be sad for me, I love this situation haha).

Have you considered to work from home 1 or 2 days per week ? Is it possible ? You could spend more time with your family.
Does your husband work ? Does he plan to get his driver license ?
Is the daycare far from your home ? Couldn't he goes with a bike, with a baby bike seat on it ?

I don't know the situation, but you seem to do a lot of things, maybe he could do more if he's not too busy ?

And working from home is definitely an option if I find a new job. I have been thinking of doing it fully remote. Then I can get a job from anywhere in the world. I’m highly considering it, it’s just weird having to quit the current job.
