A handsome little gentleman, your son! Do you work, Alina? Who looks after him then?

Unfortunately, my husband and I both work - my days are 12/13 hours long, and the main reason is that my commute is incredibly long. Thankfully, in the next 6 months, the office will be moving closer to my place of residence.

Timothy (my son) attends daycare - we were lucky we found an excellent one where the ratio of teacher to child is 1:3 and where the caretakers are all professionals. It is more expensive than normal daycare, but well worth it for our peace of mind.

The american economic system, although wonderful and efficient in many ways, is terrible to mothers. We only get 6 weeks paid maternity leave (I was lucky that my job gives 3 months).
