Question

my husband wants me to work but im not ready to put my child in full time day care. any suggestions on how to make money staying home. the more opinions is just better for me thanks.

Answer 1

you sound like a devoted mother. these are very precious months for your child and being with him/her is very important, so i applaud you for wanting to stay home. is there a way you could compromise with your husband.. maybe agree on daycare when the baby reaches 18 months or 2 years? by then he/she will be more ready to branch out. in the meantime, i would just look online (craigslist, etc.) for local opportunities for p/t or work-from-home. really, i don't think there is any magic answer to your question.. it seems the people who have found ways to work from home have been very creative and got lucky. do some research online for types of at-home businesses, and see if any of them interest you. i'm guessing you might have your hands too full to take on more work, so maybe you could offer to babysit or p/t nanny another child who is a little older than yours? i'm sorry - i'm going all over the place with my "answer".. just whatever you do, don't put your child in daycare if you are uneasy about it. he/she will be old enough for that soon enough.. enjoy these times with him/her while you can.

Answer 2

Well...I have found it's actually worse if you work around your child. Working at home full time while taking care of you child will not only be too much stress for you, but believe it or not the child will feel it too. I suggest finding a middle ground...such as a part time job, for now. One that is close to home and has flexible hours, so that you may choose your availability. You may be able to juggle it so that you work on your husbands days off and then your days off follow his. That's four days right there. So really, you only need to cover a couple hours for three days.

Take care!

Answer 3

Excellent choice to stay home with your sweet baby! First you might want to consider having a daycare. There is also selling items on line, tupperware, avon, mary kay products. Also you might want to look into doing a search on the internet as there are many internet businesses that are available that you could earn money doing. I have friends that chose to do a daycare that did quite well. I understand that your husband wants yu to work, but think about how much it will cost you to hire someone else to care for your child and subtract that from your potential income.....is working outside the home REALLY going to bring in that much more income?

Answer 4

I have a suggestion, you can either get a job when Your husband comes home that way he can watch your child. Or you can get in online job by making websites, or being a in home telemarketer.

P.S Telemarketer is not all that it seems but it is an idea.
The best of luck to you. I hope it works out.

Check out the demo program for a Four Ex Trading account. You can buy and sell forign money for a profit. The demo program is a free download and it comes with $50K of play money to learn the program.

It's acually pretty cool. I do my trading after work on fridays and saturdays.

Answer 6

your husband is extremely uninformed. let him know how important it is to actually be a mom and let him know that a real man wants to give his kids what they need.

NICHD has been studying the separation of children from their mothers for decades. What they've learned is that if a child enters day care before age 3, and for most kids, before age 5, they are seriously damaged by this. First, the attachment between mom and child is damaged, the dad's approval of the child is damaged, the child's IQ is damaged, the child's social skills are damaged. The child is at great risk for depression and anxiety.

And, guess what - these results hold true even if daddy is the caregiver, if a full-time live-in nanny is provided, or if the day care is of the highest quality.

Why? Human infants evolved to need their mother's arms and mother's milk to grow optimally. Separating from mom floods a baby's brain with stress hormones, impairing the child's ability to learn and to regulate its emotions.

In addition, and perhaps most critically, the baby is currently forming his view of the world. Is the world reliable, a safe place, can i trust? Now picture him in day care, screaming for mommy (oh, they'll lie and say he doesn't) and you never come. What does he learn about you and about life? What does he learn about his effectiveness to get his needs met? What does he learn about what you think of his needs for love and affection?

Do you really want to teach your poor dear baby all those things? Last point, day care is far harder on boys than girls. Please don't do this to your child. He didn't ask to be born; he desparately doesn't want to grow up in an institution with a mommy who schedules in a few 'quality' minutes for him every day.

What you will miss by abandoning him to day care is immeasurable. My friends and I who actually raised our babies are always amazed by how totally detached from their kids our working friends became, how utterly unaware of children's needs and rythyms they became.

Day care is a lousy way to grow up. Up and Out in the rain, out in the freezing, out in the sweltering, never with mommy to share excitement, loyalties to the primary caregiver (who must become 'mommy' if she's gonna do a good job.) Why would you do this to your kid?
