working from home???

Question

anyone working from home or planning to work from home with new baby. I'm 38 weeks prego and ready to pop. I really dont' want to put my son in daycare after he is born...anyone have any good advice on this??

Answer 1

i read emails at home with my kids and get paid to do it. its really simple and doesnt cost anything.... i dont trust websites that want money. so i ended up at hits4pay. no sign up fees and it doesnt promise youll make thousands a day. its slow going at first. you get paid $10.00 to sign up and $0.02 per email you read. these emails are not sent to an email address, the website has an internal inbox. (really nice). so i did it for a few days... i averaged about 7-10 emails a day... well $0.20 a day wasnt gonna help. so i started recruiting others. that when you make the big bucks!!! I have 55 people directly under me and 54 people under them... so now lets say that only half of them read their emails everyday (10 emails x 55 people x 0.01) Im making $5.50/day for doing nothing!!!! Thats $170.50/month FOR FREE!!! But why wouldnt everyone read the emails??? You get paid to sit at home and look at advertisements!!! You do this while you watch t.v.? and you dont get paid!!!!
im also looking into other websites that have no sign up fees or any other fees... i let all my referrals know my findings good and bad....if you do decide to sign up please join my team via my yahoo 360 page or this link below...
hope this helps:)

p.s. Hits4pay just started a sister company. Its pretty much the same concept as above but you get paid $0.02-$0.05 per email and $0.02 for each email your first level reads. Heres that link....

I didn't want to put my son in Daycare after he was born either, but I did. I did wait until about 12 weeks. I went back after 10 and my husband took some time off to transition the baby into daycare.

He is now 10 months old and (my personal opinion) is that he is better for it. I do realize all babies are different, but as I make some small comparisons, I truly believe his little social skills and learning behaviors are more advanced than those babies who stay at home with mom... Of course I am VERY fortunate to have found a very very good day care center for him. But take note, you may find that children who stay with just parents and don't have others to interact with, tend to be shy or less outgoing than others during the younger years. I don't know if that is a bad thing really, but it is just something I notice.

The other side.... I do get the chance to work at home sometimes because of my meeting schedules or whatever... I get little to no work done because of the attention he needs. It's not like he can entertain himself for more than a few minutes at a time so it is really not quite possible to work "effectively" at home and give the baby the time and attention he needs.

Finally, I offer this. We moms need to keep ourselves together, and going to a place of work everyday gives us time to communicate with other adults and helps us keep our confidence levels up, and actually, we need the break from being a mom for a few hours everyday...(that's not selfish either).

This is really a personal decision and I wreaked a ton of havoc from family and friends who just thought I was evil for going to work after having a baby...But know that putting your son in daycare is ok....

I wish you the best!

Hi! I'm a stay at home mom and I do Purse Party on the side. I do most of the work from my home then go out and do parties on the weekends. Which really is a great break to get to be around other women!!! Let me know if you have any questions! Feel free to email me!

Answer 5

The one thing you find once you decide to stay home is you were spending half of what you were making anyway between eating out and gas, clothing so many things add up. I cook almost every meal and we didn't need as much as i thought we did. There is no reward liking watching those first moments. I sit and stair in amazement at time thinking I made her. I do have to tell you I work part time selling Mary Kay. I love the adult interaction it gives me while allowing me the foredoom and flexibility to work when I choose. If you do decide to work in or out of the home research it carefully there is nothing more important then your child and doing what is best for them. Also I am not saying staying home is the best choose for everyone but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Answer 6

research any home work carefully, especially if you have to invest your own money for start up (including companies such as mary kay and avon), talk to past employees or consultants to see if it's worth the work. If you are able to take work home from your current job thats awesome, you might be able to work it out with your Mother in law, or mother or close friend to watch the baby for a day a week while you go to the office, and then you can do your regular work at home the rest of the week. Daycare is expensive also, so you have to consider how much money you'd be spending on someone else watching your precious treasure while you are out working, and is how much you are making worth it for you to be gone during your babies growing years.
You might want to look into taking in another child and watching them, or trading off with a friend for a couple of days a week, you watch her baby, she watches yours while you both have free from being a mommy time.
Good luck, you will find the right answer for your family!

Answer 7

I think that working at home is a good idea as long as your working!! But alot of mothers don't trust there new born children at home or daycare with any strangers! So i think you are just doing the normal

Answer 8

I took off for 3.5 months and then worked from home 30 hours/week. One day each week, a friend of mine would come by and babysit for me. This worked pretty well until my daughter started moving around and taking shorter naps. Eventually, I quit my job and did the stay at home mom thing until she turnd 2. Now she's in daycare and loving it, and I'm working from home 20 hours/week. Good luck to you!

Answer 9

My youngest is 3mths old and ive just gone back to work but my husband stays home and watches our kids (he's at uni) i only work the days he has off ..

If your on leave from a job then see if theres something you can do to make it so you can work from home.

Or start your own home day care that way your working but looking after your baby too!

Answer 10

I work at home and am making a wonderful living. It has really been a blessing. I had to work for 2 years when my 1st daughter was young and I cried all of the time.
But be careful - there are a lot of scams out there!
