Satisfaction?

So how can one person satisfy oneself, their child, and the family all
at the sametime? Here's the situation... I have been planning for my
daughter to go to daycare/school and now just before its time my family
decides to let me know that they don't want her to go. My mother and
grandmother think she is to young (age 2) and that they would rather her
be with them. Now my mom works a fulltime job and my grandmother gets
sick often. So how can I manage fulltime student and partime sales
associate when I'm going to be worried about where she is going to be
for the day. I was so ready for her to go to school and to have her
learning and interacting with other students and now that dream is gone.
What do I do???

The Working Mom

So summer is almost over and its time for some of us moms to go back to school. This can be a hard time for moms and their children. How can we mothers prepare ourselves and our children for the slight change of pace? Its so hard to go to school and or work and leave our children with others. Its also hard to get back into the swing of things and get use to working or going back to class and still having the energy to go home and take care of things. This is when stress and anxiety comes into play. So how do you avoid this? Make sure to schedule things and have a routine. Its easier on mom and baby if there is a set plan and a schedule to follow. Moms should always be sure to schedule alone time. Mom should have at least 30 minutes a day to herself. Use this time to do something that is relaxing or something that makes you happy. Also make sure that if you are in school take time to do work and study. For some of you it may be a good idea to ask for help from relatives or a babysitter, maybe even daycare. The help of others will allow for time to do work, study, or have that 30 minutes alone time.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to lower stress and anxiety when going back to school or work?
