Being productive as a mom

Hey mama 💛

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to be more productive and also find ways to make money from home, especially as a single mom. I know we’re all trying to balance so much, and I really admire how other moms manage it.

I wanted to reach out and ask — what do you do to stay productive? Have you found any ways to earn from home that actually work? Even small ideas or things you’ve tried.

Also, I was wondering… would you ever be open to brainstorming together? Like maybe we could come up with a small business idea or something we can build little by little from home.

I feel like together it could be easier, more motivating, and even fun. No pressure at all — I’d just really love to hear your thoughts and experiences 💭✨

WFH

Hey, anyones work place hiring for work from home? Don’t want to send my child to daycare🫶🏼.

Redundancy- losing nursery place:’)

So lost. I currently wfh which means I can get the 30 free hours of childcare. I have a. 2 y/o and 8 month old. I’ve just found out I’m most likely being made redundant and I’ve been applying to other remote roles with no luck, and can’t do an in person role because the 8 month old doesn’t have a space till September. Now I’m going to have to pull my 2 y/o out of nursery and I’ll have to cancel both their spaces as there’s a very low chance I’ll be able to get & start a new job in September exactly & won’t have anyone to watch them when I get one till I qualify again as both parents have to earn £800+ a month. It’s a catch 22 situation. I’m so stuck, hurt and lost. Been in the company for 4 years and now my dreams of them both going to nursery, having a good job & going to uni are shattered till my youngest is 5 and i have no idea what to do

To play or not to play?!

My “ex” and I ended things in March (still fresh). I have been mentally done since January.
He doesn’t seem to register this - we still live together until our tenancy ends this month. Still calling me “babe”; still “unsure” why I want to co-parent. Still sees a future.

Yesterday he complained I was “starving him of sex” - we haven’t had sex since January because I just haven’t wanted him or the relationship hence detaching sexually. I also feel sex is how he keeps me hooked in the chaos (because we enjoy each other when we do).
He says we can repair and still be having sex.

Anyway it got hot and heavy last night and we almost did.
I felt like it was a moment of weakness to almost give in to him; however I now can’t stop thinking about it and want it.

Do I just give in as we’re about to move out?
Or
Hold my stance and maintain that I don’t want to go there with him?!

Husband doesn’t last long 😩

Since becoming pregnant, we haven’t been intimate as much as we used too, and obviously since having our LO it’s difficult (we have a bad sleeper) so we’re both tired and don’t have energy. However, he is in the mood more than I am. I feel like when we do have sex, it literally lasts less than a minute - then I think what’s the point lol. I understand because we don’t do it that often, it’s probably be the reason, so we’ve tried doing it more often and it still doesn’t make a difference.

We tried foreplay more, but it also doesn’t make a difference, as when we do come to have sex, it’s over even quicker.

Venting or after advice??? Who knows, just fed up 🥲

If you’ve successfully made mom friends, do you SAH, work in office, or work from home?
