Stay at Home Moms? Help!?

Question

I am a stay at home mom. I have two little girls ages 2 and 1 and I also watch my niece who is 1. I am having a real hard time making new friends. Because of their ages, I can not really take them out right now because they all need strollers. I have a support group online I check in once in a while, but I do not have the time to do that during the day. I am also looking for a business to do at home to that might help relieve the loneliness. Any suggestions!?

I have never heard of a buggy board. Do they have them in the US? Let me know! I would love it

Answer 1

I run a certified child care program in my home. I care for five children besides my own daughter. I love what I do because I'm able to stay at home with my daughter and still bring in an income. I'm 16 weeks pregnant with our second child. I also have a part time job at Kroger doing payroll for the store that I have had for 15 years I only work twice a month. This is my time to get out and talk to other adults and have adult conversation. I also did Pampered Chef for a while just for the adult conversation. This is also another source of income plus the adult interaction. Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Purse Party

It's a lot of fun and the average purse party is $400...you get paid 30% commission the night of the party so you get $120 for about 3 hours of work! There are no minimum sales quotas and you do the parties when you want. You can also do catalog parties and you are provided with a website that you get the same commissions from. You have no inventory just a few samples to carry and they are tax deductable.

If you are interested you can go to my site and read all the details

I look forward to talking to you! I would love to have you on my team!!! Purse Party will def be the best decision you have ever made. It's my full time job! Well full time pay! Part time work. I'm a stay at home mom and this is all I do!

Also...it is 100% legal we do not sell the knock offs...we have our own product line!

Answer 3

I am also a stay at home mom, what kind of things interest you? There are alot of things you can do and work it around your schedule? Are there any other stay at home moms around you? if yes when the weather is nice everyone loads up and meets at the parks and let the kids play and get out and the moms get out for a little while. Set up stuff with the other moms, like everyone pick a day and let each other watch the kids for an hour or so and you get out by yourself and then next time you watch their kids while they go. I had a very hard time making friends because my kids were little and it can be very upsetting, but my triplets started pre-k this year it had helped alot. I sell Tastefully Simple products because I can work that around the kids and husband schedule, it is very easy because it sells itself and the party's are scheduled on weekends. Just a suggestion

I would be more than happy to email back and forth I understand what you are going through

Answer 4

I cannot really help with the job perspective, I have 2 toddle rboys though, try selling their too small or unused or no longer being used items on ebay, clothes go like you breathe air. Did you try to become a babysitter? You obviously have the expirience. Did you look up double storllers or double jogger strollers online? I use a double jogging stroller as we live in HIllsborough nj hence the "hills" borough. There are also localized mothers groups where the children have a playgroup along with the mothers you should look this up online.... ours is called MOMS group East Hillsborough NJ....... There are also places to call to find out more information about mothers groups for friends and playmates.... Try you local phonebook for a phone number for a hotline like first call for help or.... United way... or something that sounds similar... They are hotlines to tell you resorces for anything, food clothing, friends, medical, furniture.... Its all a phone call or 2 away! Hope this helped you some!

Answer 5

What do you mean you can't take them out? You can if you get a double buggy and a buggy board then the 2 year old can stand on the buggy board.
If you stay in all the time you are going to go crazy and so are the kids! If I don't go out for a day I get depressed.

Answer 6

I babysit full time, what really helps me is getting a bunch of fun games you can all play, it makes the day go faster etc. I would join a playgroup or something like that to meet other moms and then invite them over for playdates, this is great for the kids and gives you time with an adult. ALSO my husband comes home on Mondays and spends the afternoon/evening watching my baby and I get to have girls night with a glass of wine and adult conversation... so GOOD LUCK and I know it's easy to get bored and almost depressed spending all that time with the kids so keep doing fun activities, art projects etc to keep you having fun also!

Answer 7

If you absolutely can't get out during the day, see if your husband will let you out for one or two evenings a week. Then sign up for a local craft class at the craft store or ceramics or something that interests you. Then you get a break from the kids, enjoy the company of other ladies, and you get to be creative!

Answer 8

Form a play group with other stay at home moms who are neighbors or in the area.

Answer 9

through a clothes party put invites through doors and see who turns up! u should end up making some new friends that are in the same boat as you. good luck.

Answer 10

I can relate, parenting is a lonely journey. Make friends with who you share interests not just motherhood...
