i'm 7 months pregnant and so there fore i'm about to have my baby and right now i have two seasonal jobs which both end in september and i'm a single parent i have rent to pay and i have three other children to take care of so there fore i really can't afford to stop working so is there anyone that could give me some advice on what i could do is there a way i could work from home or anything i could do and PLEASE KEEP IT REAL NO BULL S*** PLEASE

Answer 1

You could always try childcare from home, that is what I do. Atleast you are home with your children and you can have your own hours and stuff.

Answer 2

I suggest you go to some type of agency (if you have not done that already) and have them look for a job in your field. You can get yourself on WIC or on Section 8 (a program here in New Jersey and other states where you can get an apartment with little to no money) and find some type of day care provider so that you can have a job and a roof over your head.
now, if your seasonal jobs end in September, hopefully, the agency you can get into will have you go to another job(in your field) to work in. Have you as a temp. I wish you all the luck in the world and, another thing.....4 kids, single parent. Why haven't you stop at 3? I know there are singles out there with 5 or more, but really. Where is this ones father? I suggest after you give birth, you ask for your tubes to be tied. I am SERIOUS!!! grant it, you are going to get a lot of slack for this. I am not looking for 10 points, here.I work for a school system and I have met a lot of parents, like you, struggling. You need to stop. Get them tied, be blessed with the 4 and that is it.

Answer 3

First I would look into getting the tubes tied. I know I will once my hubby and I are done. Then I agree with tigergirl301 childcare is a great idea. I did it for three years when my oldest was little It makes great money and you would be able to pay for food, rent, and other things. I would also suggest maybe saving money even if it is just $5 every pay and don't touch it just let it grow. One more suggestion they have online school that you may want to check out to get some training or a degree in something to help you get better jobs than seasonal jobs. Good Luck

Answer 4

If you are truly interested in a job from home. There is one that I looked into today. It is legit. I can not tell you the company's name because I do not know if Yahoo will allow me to or not. My e-mail address is [e-mail]. Also now would be a good time for you to talk to your human resources and go ahead with the paper work. Go ahead and apply for medicaid for you and your children and unborn also. It may be medicare. You will get some income for sure through human resources. If you are an illegal I do not know about the laws on that part. I am not trying to down grade you by any means. If you are legal with seasonal jobs help is definatly out there for you through Human Services.They helped me for over a year until I could get on my feet again. Once again I was not trying to offend you in any way or discriminate. I said that because a lot of illegals do ask me these questions too. I never have found the answer from them personally.

Answer 5

I am sure you are going to get some answers that you won't like to read...something about you want to play, you have to ___.

I'm not gonna go there, even though I want to, and actually half-way did. And you won't be able to work anyways after childbirth (again) so I'm sure you know that.

I hope you have understanding parents that will take you in and help you out. Or there is welfare. But I hate that option, because those are my tax dollars...not being selfish, but I would rather see my taxes go to education. You want your kids educated, right?

I wish I could give you some better advice, but I just don't see what to offer, other than really draw in your family and close friends for support. You might have to move in with somebody. Make sure you get child support from the father, that will help at least some.

Answer 6

I am not trying to be mean, just honest. I think that you need to go on, and stay on, birth control. You have gotten yourself into a terrible situation. You will end up living on state aid and be unable to provide effectively for your children if these pregnancies do not stop. You are already in the situation now, though and so the best advice I can give is to clear out one of your bedrooms and run an ad for a live-in nanny. Work out arrangements that will amount to no money leaving your pocket for her services. Exchange her services for rent. Work out the details on food purchases, utilities, and other things that will cost you more by having an additional person in your home.
Good luck and god bless.

Answer 7

Here is a couple of "real" things for you to consider:

1) Give the child up for adoption. I realize you love your children (born and unborn) but sometimes the greatest gift of love is to realize that someone else can provide better for a child.

2) Talk to your local church. They often have resources for people such as yourself.

3) Are you on the WIC (women, infants, and children) program yet? This is the best helper program out there; it provides for the necessary food for your children such as milk, cheese, veggies, cereal, etc.

4) Stop getting pregnant. Seriously. There is no excuse to have a child when you aren't wanting and ready for it. I realize this is a little late in the game for you but come on, wake up and think about your children. You can get free birth control at crisis centers, hospitals, colleges, and schools. No excuse.

I give you credit for working and wanting to find a new job. Good luck.

PS: If you opt for option #1 and want a loving couple to care for your child, I'm more than willing to do so.

Answer 8

If you have a family member or friend who can take care of the children, what you need to do is get a full-time, non-seasonal job. You might be able to qualify for unemployment right after you give birth (check with your local Social Security office) so you have time to recuperate and look for other work. You also probably qualify for Federal grants in order to go back to school in order to set yourself up right for the future (the Social Security office can probably help point you in the right direction on that too). Good luck!

Answer 9

First off go to your county offices and see if they have a list of jobs that you could do from home or if perhaps there is something available in the county that would provide you with reputable childcare while you worked for the county. Just a suggestion.
Good luck you might not realize it at this moment but you are a very very lucky woman. Four children. You are truly blessed

Answer 10

best bet is friends family and a local church....last resort have you tried to apply for any government assistance? I like that I am hearing that you work two jobs.. You sound to me like you are going to make it.
DO NOT TRUST WORK FROM HOME THINGS espesially from online! If you have to pay anything it is probably not going to work. If you have to work from home try Tupperware, Linen World, Home interiors, Pampered Chef, those kinds of RELIABLE companies. Linen World is nice , I did that for a while and you can make $, but you are considered self employed with these companies and it is different when you do taxes so you will need to make sure you have enough for your taxes.You will have to be STRICT about saving 15% for the taxes every week. Or babysitting might work there but you have your hands full already.
Keep up the good work e-mail if you have questions.

Answer 11

What about Food Stamps, Housing Authority, Medicaid, Wick, plus they also offer daycare at a reduced price for people of low income. I know you said you had seasonal jobs. Can you get a regular job someplace? There is help out there. You just have to find it. I don't mean to sound bad as I know you want no bull****, but how'd you end up having so many children? There is also birth control. I mean, I know what's done is done but for real, 4 children!!!
