Remote work?

Does anyone know of any good remote jobs? I don’t want to put the full financial burden on my boyfriend, but I also don’t want to have my baby in daycare 5 days a week

Lost your way as a SAHM

So, I’ve recently became a stay at home mum and had to adjust to not being financially independent and having a massive amount of my confidence and identity being taken away.

I do love being a stay at home mum, but hearing my partner talk about work and earning money as made me a bit deflated. I can’t return to work just yet, so just wondered if there were any tips or groups or advice about how to still nurture myself whilst having a toddler haha :)

Single Mom Questions

Hey guys not sure if this is the right group to post this on but I needed to ask for some help/advice.

Last week I was kicked out of my apartment by my baby’s dad. I lost my home and everything was completely uprooted in my life. I haven’t been able to work since my baby refuses bottles and sippy cups since she’s barely 6 months old. I’m trying hard to get her to take them but it’s so stressful and has not been easy.

Since I haven’t been able to bottle feed her, I haven’t been able to work. I lost my car in a bad accident and I have nothing except myself and my baby. My parents took me in so I’m not homeless but I feel extremely guilty that I’m there with my baby.

Does anyone know of any remote job opportunities, or freelance work that I can try so I can make some money for a car and an apartment? I’m stuck and I really need some help or advice.
Maybe some tips on trying to get her on a bottle or sippy cup.

Please any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

WFH position that isn’t a scam??

I’m 21, 9 weeks pregnant with my first. i would prefer to find something before I get very far into this pregnancy, because we have agreed that staying home with the baby would be the best option for us personally. have been looking into work from home positions for at least 2-3 years. i can’t ever seem to find any that aren’t pyramids or basically just like a build yourself up on social media. if anyone has any advice or suggestions please feel free to share or message me.

Going back to highest earner …

On my last poll yesterday, nearly 50% of participants said that highest earner earns over £50,001 annually, sooo.

Im sorry but...

Looking after kids all day long is SO much more mentally draining, overstimulating and challenging than most jobs, if you think im wrong please explain im genuinly interested.

Obviously things like working in ER etc are more stressful but I truly believe most jobs just need to be managed well and then they're easier than a full day with a young child/children.

For moms working remotely

How do you work with a 9-10 month old baby? Is it possible? I am seeking a salary position in my career path which is now at the mid-level/ senior level. This may take 50+ hours a week of work…not sure if I have to hire a nanny but really want to see my baby as much as I can but still do well in my role.

Anyone receive formula through both WIC & insurance ?

So my doctor prescribed my son similac alimentum and said either WIC or insurance will cover it and usually WIC will only approve if insurance denies it, so the WIC office called me and confirmed the switch & it was loaded onto my card and then about 4 days later insurance called and said they would be sending it in the mail, is this normal to receive both? WIC is covering 10 cans and insurance is covering 9, do I have to notify them or can I just collect both ?

Do we go for Junior ISA?

My baby girl is 2 now, and I’m 30 weeks pregnant with another girl..

Family and friends for birthdays and special occasions send monies instead of buying gifts. I would like to put all that money together somewhere in the account and save it for her but I have no idea what to go for. There’s so much out there. I feel closest to Junior ISA, but so many providers and investing combinations it’s overwhelming how not informed and financially educated I am at this point ☹️☹️

What do you guys do? Any advice will help

Thanks

Parental leave UK

I understand that by law you’re entitled to 18 weeks of unpaid leave if you have a child.

Does anyone know all of the rules for this and have they used it?

Heartbroken.

Literally want to throw up.
I realized many hours later that I left my wallet at the store. $400 cash, every debit / credit card. All my health insurances cards / prescription cards and kids. All our social security cards. License etc. I’ve been crying all night.

Im 8+3, when did people tell work?

I feel so anxious about telling work. I didn't want to until further down the line, but due to my job I may have to, due to them doing certain risks assesments. I dont feel my Director will be understanding, as we are a new company and I am the service manager. We are just starting out and he is panicking about money. I have been in the role over a year.

Also ontop, I don't know how to tell him.
