Well if you have to join in and your mom is willing to watch the kid, go for it! It seems to be the ideal child minding situation- I know so many women, including myself, who would love that. Plus he's 1.5 so not entirely an infant and should be fine with your mom.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
i assume you are in Pakistan and, as suggested by SGC, go ahead because you got ideal childcare arrangement. have you tried to go overseas?
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
I think 1.5 is a really good age to start giving both of you some independence. I have really noticed a change in my daughter as she's reached this age. I think they're ready. I think having your mother there is ideal. And your ability to provide for your daughter through your job is also really important. You're also providing a good example for her.
Sure the transition will be difficult for both of you, but I think it could also be good for both of you. If it doesn't seem to be working, you can always look for other solutions.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
looks like you have a pretty good arrangement.. your mom will be the perfect caretaker for your baby when you are away. Just make sure that you dont take advantage of this and be courteous towards your mom and compensate her, not with money or such, but in other ways. :-)
good luck!

I think it's a great arrangement.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
Can you start with part-time job first and see how things work out? If everything is good, baby is happy, your mom is helpful, you are satisfied then maybe you can work full-time.
Where do you live?
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
@ Spiral dear i live in khi n have 2 do an eight hours job. No any other option. Well thank u guys 4 giving me courage :-).
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
Shonaali, DO IT! Like everyone said, your mother will be there for your baby and if you need to work specially for financial reasons, at least you have the peace of mind that your own mother is watching your child. It will be hard for both of you at first but it is also good for you, your baby, and your mother to start forging new relationships and bonds. Best of luck.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
You are the one who can decide if it is wise for you to work or not.
I am a working mother and I think it is the right thing to do now for me and my family.
It hurts a lot to leave the kids at daycare, you atleast will have your mother to look after your son. Your son may cry when you leave for work and that is the hardest part. I used to cry when I left my son at the daycare but it gets better with time.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
I would have left my child with my mother to help out my family.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
How old is mom? Can she take care of a 1 year old?
Maybe you can hire some help along with your mom.
Re: i need ur advise friendzz
You're lucky your Mum can take care of your child - go for it! :)
