Not TTC related but just need someone to talk to
I started my new part time job 4 months ago and now they have sprung up that I will need to go out of state for training's. I have HUGE anxiety with traveling, I even get super nervous when we go shopping an hour away. Not to mention that I have my almost 4 year old that I cant rely on my husband to take care of, I would have more anxiety when it came to that wondering if he was watching her close as he has the more laid back approach and thinks she can raise herself. I do have my mother but she doesn't feel well from to time to time and has already raised me and my brother I don't want her to have to have her anymore than what she already does. My bosses just cornered me and basically came out and said if I don't go I will be done. I burst into tears and cant stop. What can and should I do?

Awww I'm so sorry. Do you like this job and the people you work with? If not, then maybe you should start looking for a new job. If you do, you'll have to talk to them about scheduling and making sure that you have plenty of advance notice to make sure you have child care. Hopefully it won't be too often or for too long. Good luck.

I deal with anxiety like that too! I switched jobs for pretty much the same reason you listed in your JE...I loved the job and people but they had me traveling so much. I get so much anxiety traveling - I didn't have a child at the time but I can only imagine how that would feel :( I would definitely talk to your doc about your anxiety - I know it helped me a ton! GL and try not to cry too much about it. We are here for you! :)

They should have told you about that up front. As for your husband, he IS the father and even though you don't necessarily agree with his parenting style, ask yourself if he would truly allow your child to get into a dangerous situation. I understand that children are not "little adults" but when my daughter was 4, she was really smart and didn't need to be watched or coddled constantly. Trust your hubby and trust your kid a little more. :) If it would make you feel better for your mom to care for her then arrange for that to happen a few hours a day or for a couple FULL days of the week. I know about the guilt of not wanting Mom to have to watch the child. I feel it too sometimes. However, she's grandma. Grandmas like to help out. As long as you're not totally inconveniencing your mom, don't hesitate to ask for a bit of help. You need it!

Thank you so much ladies for taking time to reply. They ended up letting me go last night thru a text lol, very professional. Starmama I'm sorry that you too go thru anxiety I really never have until this past year or two and to answer regarding if I have spoke with my doc about it, I have and she mentioned medication and then I back off because I hate medication but I think eventually I will have to :( Mozart too strange you mention how the part time job was becoming full time, exactly what my husband said he was furious that they were trying that. Again thank you ladies, I am home today and feeling pretty sick I made myself so sick because of being so upset
