Hey Everyone!
I was laid off in March due to my company closing down. I haven't been able to find a job that will pay me enough and be able to spend anytime with my family. I quite enjoy staying at home. My husband is a police officer, he works night 10 pm - 6am. We do own our own company as well but it's making just enough to pay its own bills. We thought all our problems had been answered, we went to buyout a company and they tried to fraud us. I woke up this morning to my husband telling me that our problems are back. We have had a lot of things that where suppose to happen the past year that haven't and I really can't take it anymore. The only job I am going to be able to get is working daycare, and I will bring home make be $600 a month. Not enough! If anyone works from home or knows something I can do from home and make money please help me! I could probably get someone to watch my daughter a couple night a week if needed.
I just don't know how to deal with everything that is going on right now, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to get out of bed, exercise, I just want to sit and cry.:sad:

There are jobs where you can work from home but you have to be established with a company first- I know you may not want to hear this but if you family is really in need of money why don't you seek a job outside of the home to make some money- waitresses make good money or offices jobs0

WOW, your day sounds as bad as mine. My hubby is usually the positive one and I am the negative but yesterday we got our school taxes and he said we just can't win, he said he meant we take one step forward and then two steps back. We have furniture to pay for which is 3000. (we pay 200 a month) then we got the taxes 3500 a by Aug. 29th. We have a trip to Disney in Spet 1000. (which I asked if we should cancel and he said no. I work at night from 530-1030 which I try to do three nights a week. My hubby is home then. We were doing well until my neighber cut down all the trees seperating our lands and so no privacy for our pool or anything, so we are going to pay about 6-8 hundred dollars to plant new trees. ARGHHHHH!!!! So my measley 100. a week is getting us NO WHERE very fast.
Anyway, what is you work after 630 (when your hubby gets home) like at the local grocery store doing overnights or something. Like work an 8 to 5 am shift, I know alot of people who do that or work waitressing for a local restaurant until 12. Just some ideas, hope I helped.:flowerforyou:0 -

I feel you when you need a job that can cover daycare- when I work I have to pay childcare for 2 kids (WOW) its crazy but that means that you just need to find something that pays enough do you have any skills?0
