I forgot all about subsidized daycare. I thought I had to wait until the baby was born to set up childsupport. I will look into all I need to. Today after posting the discussion I went and talked to my HR manager who gave me a number to call for counseling. I told her my hold-ups as far as feeling needy but she told me that she had used it
Sometimes the good thing about fear is that it pushes us to find new solutions to deal with our problems.
You are carrying a baby and have a six year old that you are responsible for, of course you are going to feel some stress!
