Help mamas!

I need some help mamas. Maybe someone knows about a work from home job that is hiring. I recently had my baby 10/30 and work wants me back now. They denied my bonding and extra time off.
I’m a credentialed teacher but I’m willing to do anything from home just so I can spend more time with my baby. If anyone knows anything I really appreciate it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi Jennifer, so sorry to hear about your work denying your bonding and time off! Have you considered working for an online school? I’m a speech language pathology assistant and I’m contracted with K12 California Virtual Academias (CAVA).

Im also in the looks for online work
So following!

yes! I’ve interviewed with them a few years in a row but no luck so far. I’d love to teach from home

Have you looked into the tutoring apps?most are set your own rates. I know it’s not super steady work but you can book the appointments on your own time. Preply, superprof, outschool, Learner, skooli, and wyzant.

Hello 🫶

Looking to make new friends, no matter where you are! Being at home all the time with just a tiny person for company can be lonely so I’m reaching out to see if anyone is out there in the same position - I am also a really good listener so if you need to rant then I’m here! 👋🏼🤍

Deleting app

I’m so ready to delete this app. I don’t think people actually want to gain friendships. I’ve only had little conversations and that’s it. What a bummer 😒

friends !!

Is it appropriate to give a card for Eid?

My neighbour has been fasting for Ramadan and I wondered if it would be appropriate to give a card for Eid. He gave us a Christmas card and I want to return the favour.

Socialising

I’m due on July 9th, and lately I just don’t feel like myself socially. Before pregnancy, I loved seeing my friends, making plans, going out it used to genuinely excite me. But now… I just don’t have the energy or desire for it.

All I seem to want is to stay at home, be with my partner, and keep things really low-key. I’ve been cancelling plans a lot, and it’s starting to make me feel like a bad friend or like I’m being selfish. I do love my friends, nothing has changed in that sense I just don’t feel up to socialising at all.

I’m also just so exhausted all the time, and part of me worries I’m isolating myself or that something’s wrong with me.

Has anyone else felt like this during pregnancy? Is this normal? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar 🤍

What do I do if I can’t go back to work

I’m actually doing my first week back at work and it’s already a nightmare. I live in wales so don’t get any free childcare. I feel like I actually can’t go back to work. It’s too expensive to put both my kids in nursery and I currently have mine and my partners mums doing a day each of childminding.
Both parents are already facing challenges doing their day due to both having their own business and personal issues.

If I quit my job, could I go on UC? My partner just has a standard job.
Anyone else experiencing this?
