I found parenting without family support hard, especially because we (paremts) both work. The early years are the most difficult but it gets easier. I'm personally lucky with my job situation even though I had to scale down my ambitions, but I'll never regret it, on the contrary. We routinely go to the park after school, especially in this time of the year, so that my little one can play with his school mates, and I can take calls from there if needed. Win-win!
