SAHM or WFH

Hello fellow moms! I would love to be a SAHM and take cares of my baby, and keep up with my house but unfortunately we can’t do that at the moment. Any advice on how some of you make it happen or any positions that you might know of that is WFH but doesn’t involve being on the phones?! Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!

I work for a credit Union that offers remote work. I had some previous experience though and applied for months to nothing but wfh jobs without any luck. I easily put in 20 apps a week. My advice to you would be to get on indeed and put int all the apps. Be weary of the scams though. Good luck!

I'm home based work in finance not on phones. Although office now 2 days a month. Many company's including mine assume you have childcare arrangements so not working at home and looking after LOs. I know I cannot do my work with LO about.

Freelance work as a social media manager - there’s a lot of YouTube vids out there on how to do it. There’s a good FB group - Female Social Media Managers

Just wondering how you would work and look after your kids at the same time? Wouldn’t the kids have to be in nursery regardless of where you work? As in, you can focus on work with a small child making demands and needing attention, right?

My partner works FIFO (2 weeks on, 2 weeks off), and I’m currently easing back into my role part-time after six months of maternity leave, now working 3 days a week instead of my original 5.
I’ve been on a daycare waitlist since I was pregnant, and we’ve managed to secure one day a week for my 6.5-month-old. We’re still on the waitlist for 2 more days. It honestly breaks my heart to send her so young, but we’ve got to do what’s right for our family.
This week is my first week back at work, and thankfully my partner is home. I thought I’d be able to juggle work and looking after her on the two days she’s not in care especially with a flexible and understanding boss, but the past two days have been tough. My little girl has had a rough time, and I honestly can’t imagine how I would have managed without my partner taking the lead.
I know some days will be easier than others, but doing both at once doesn’t feel sustainable long-term.

I can’t lol it’s so hard! Thats what I am currently trying to figure out. I have help from my mom 3 days of the week but the other two I don’t have much care so I have to do everything I can during my breaks but sometimes I go past my break time and until my husband comes home from work he takes over and sometimes I have to stay pass my work time to make up time loss. It’s a hot mess!

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
