Becoming a working mama

I need advice! At the moment I am a stay at home mom to my 8 month old. Don't get me wrong I love being a stay at home mama but me and my husband are always dead broke so I want to help financially, we only have one vehicle witch makes it hard.

If what you make barely covers the cost of daycare it’s not worth it. You’ll always be able to make money but your babe will never been this small again. And you are contributing! In ways that a father never can for a young baby. What you’re currently doing for your family is immense!

I worked as a bar waitress so I could go in and close after my hubby was home, he got home 5-5:30 I started 6-6:30. One car, didn’t pay for childcare, worked for us for some time and the tips helped for all the clothing she grew out of quick 😭

My daughter is 16 months and I just accepted a job offer. I, selfishly, didn’t want to go back to work in the sense that I didn’t want someone else raising my daughter. We managed to survive thus far but just can’t anymore. Thankfully, I’ll be working at her daycare but still hard emotionally.

So look around to see what will work for you and your family. Like someone said, if majority of your paycheck goes to childcare then it’s not worth it.

Find an at home job.
Jump on indeed & search for something remote, you’d be surprised.
I’m biased to aviation. I’d say start there.. get travel perks!

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
