| Summary: | A couple of months prior to my daughter's first birthday, my husband and I decided with heavy hearts to look for a daycare facility that can accommodate our pressing needs. I was on the final months of my doctoral studies with a dissertation waiting to be concluded and defended while reviewing for the New York bar examination and trying to earn a few dollars as a library assistant - there was no way I could still be a full-time mother at the same time unless sleep goes out of vogue. We were in the United States where house helpers are unheard of except for the extremely wealthy so my husband and I equally shared household duties, including caring for our beloved daughter. Much as we tried to hold on to our commitment to take care of her ourselves, time was fast running out on my three-year scholarship grant. |
