Cloning website

Anybody know a phone cloning website?! And please I’m not asking for a side of advice with that…

Context: SAHM with 2 special needs children. Husband works hundreds of hours per week and averages 4 hours of sleep, so I do 100% of the parenting, household work, and garden maintenance. Having said that, both kids will be at the same school this year and can do before and aftercare there, allowing me to work.

Job A: 1:1 RN for medically complex child who needs me to attend school with them, follows my children’s school schedules, summers off, etc. $44/hr FT, provides consistent work but forces me to delegate some of the household stuff like cleaning and yard, also difficult if children are sick as I have no support or backup and would have to call out

Job B: contract WFH AI research job, 20 hrs/ week, $75/hr, could end though at anytime though (1-6 months)

Help?!?!🤪

Working from home

Does anyone know any part-time jobs where I can work from home as well as be a mum to my beautiful baby girl.

Redundancy on mat leave

Just how hard is it to get rid of someone on mat leave? I work in a pretty unsteady industry and due to law changes the industry I work in is getting harder to remain profitable. Theres been chatter of redundancies but nothing confirmed apart from a company wide hiring freeze but I've gone through the redundancy process already with this company last year and was lucky enough to get a new role within the business. I went on mat leave end of May and due back end of Feb but I can't stop panicking about possible redundancy. My role is quite niche so finding a similar job after is neigh on impossible but I've been in this type of role for a number of years now so finding a different job will also prove difficult. Just how hard would it be for them to make me redundant and are the maternity protection laws as protective as they make out ?

Looking for Remote Jobs

Cut off

Found out that I’m over the income limit for wic and food stamps by $50!!!! I’m going pay check to pay check and most days I’m not eating because my kids need to eat and the government says I make too much money. What am I going to do

Going back to work..

How does the nursery funding work? Is it 15 or 30 free hours? I am currently self employed and getting maternity allowance until December 2026.

My daughter was born on 2nd April, so does this mean we will have to wait until April 1st to start the new term, I've heard it's either January 1st, April 1st or September 1st?

Thanks in advance!

This is gonna sound crazy but is there any writing jobs out there?

I’m a mom to two little boys so I can’t just go out and find a job. I need a remote job but I was wondering if there was any writing jobs out there? I love to write it’s my passion. So I was wondering if there was anything like that out there but I can also get paid?

Has anyone went back to work willingly?

I have been a stay at home mom for three years now and now have another newborn. I honestly don’t think I can do it anymore. I wanna put my kids in daycare and go back to work. Has anyone put their kids in daycare just so they can go back to work? What made you decide and did you regret it?

Need advice from Working moms out there

I have been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years.
I am starting a new full time job from September and I am unsure how I will manage work and household and kidssssss!!

Please moms I need your advice, tips, strategies and anything that can help this new phase in life manageable😮‍💨

Job market

FTM to a 6 month old looking to get back into the work force. Job market seeming so murky right now. Anyone in the same boat? Whats the "low hanging fruit" in this market?

Mothers who work and have kid/s under 5 years old, what’s the maximum hours you work a week

I'm only asking this because, if you are a mother it's hard to balance work & childcare together unless you have support.
In the UK, the government only give 30 hours a week of free childcare. That means it's 6 hours a day Monday - Friday.
So it means as a parent, unless somebody else will collect your child from school, how will you work 9-5 a day?
You can't work full-time can you unless somebody collects your child from school

Making money at home

hi guys! just wondering if anyone has any ideas for how i can make money at home on my phone/laptop?

Something that actually pays! i am on maternity leave but want a little extra 😁

Not getting a pay rise due to being on maternity

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice and wondering if anyone has been through something similar or works in HR/employment law.

I’ve had my return-to-work meeting ahead of coming back from maternity leave, and I’ve been told I won’t be getting this year’s pay rise. This is what my employer said:

“As you have been on maternity leave for a significant proportion of the current review period, it has not been possible to complete a full performance assessment against these criteria in line with the rest of the team. Accordingly, your salary will be considered as part of the next annual pay review in April 2027, when there will have been sufficient opportunity to assess your performance against the same criteria applied to all employees.”

The thing is, the company only changed to performance-based pay rises in December 2025, and I started my maternity leave on 15 January 2026. So I was only working under the new performance review process for a very short period before going on maternity leave.

I’m currently challenging the decision because I don’t think it’s fair to effectively miss out on a pay rise because I was on maternity leave. I’ve already spoken to ACAS, and they’ve advised me to send a further email explaining why I believe the decision is unfair before taking it any further.

Has anyone else had something similar happen? If so, what was the outcome? Or if anyone works in HR or employment law, I’d really appreciate your thoughts. I’m just trying to understand whether this is something employers can legally do or whether I have grounds to challenge it.

Thank you ❤️

Help me make a decision pleasssee

Job a: flexibility, $28/an hour, no benefits, part time (4days a week,8-4) which allows me to focus on homework and have time for family.
OR
Job b: full time, benefits,$36/hr, no flexibility or days off, 8-5pm which makes time hard for family and homework

What are we doing for money?😩

I am a single mum with no help from bd whats so ever he has never been a part of it. I work part time and claim UC for rent/top up/childcare. I also have a lot of loans to pay off from moving house etc. I started selling my socks/feet pics/that kind of thing, i have just been told i have to record in on UC which i didn't realise because i thought if it was under and certain amount or it wasn't a business or employment you didn't have to. ANYWAY that will deduct from my UC (depending how much it is) but im worried they may ask me to pay some back AND if they deduct money in the future then im not actually making any more money then before so that defeats the whole point of doing the OF in the first place 😩😩 HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO AFFORD AND SURVIVE AS SINGLE MUMS, is there any other way to earn more or do i just be in debt all the time? 😩

Sorry that was long, i needed that 😂😭
Thankyouu x

Work from home?

Hey, is there any mums that have a good job that they can do from home and around their kids and daily life? I’ve got a toddler who’s autistic and I’m expecting baby number two, I need something I can do to earn some extra money to keep us afloat. Also I live in UK just incase some companies don’t hire globally ❤️

Financial help

Does anyone know of what emergency funds could exist to help someone with like 250-300 left of rent? Unfortunately due to an emergency and paycheck timing issue I’m short literally that much, I have until the 1st to pay it, I get paid the 7th which is too late for them to accept the payment. What can I do? I’m going to try to overdraft my card for it tomorrow but I don’t know if it’ll decline or not. If it doesn’t then I’ll be fine, but if it does I’m not sure what to do.
