There are tons of scams and huge start up fees!!\n\nThere is also a huge difference between a home business and a home job!! And of course then there are MLM's - think MaryKay!!\n\nI personally sat down and made a list of what was imporant to me. I wanted a company that had a clean slate with the BBB, one that cared about me and my family, one that had a proven track record and was dependable, free training, great support team, no selling or stocking, and no large amount of money to start up!\n\nI am a single mom so anything over 30 dollars is big!!\n\nI have found what it is that I was looking for and they met all of my requirements. That is the best advise I can offer you!

I have been looking for sometime, now and I cannot seem to find anything legit.  It seems that you have to work for a place 1st and then negotiate working from home-which does not really help us now, does it?\n\n\nI totally wish you luck-like I said, I have been looking.  Did you try the craigslist.com for your area?? it didnt do me any good (at least not yet) but maybe you might find something!

First of all, what are you doing relying on your parents if you have teenage daughters??  By all means I was not a perfect child but, bu time I was your childrens age, I didn't rely on my parents for squat except for a roof over my head and food.  Stop exausting your efforts on relying on other people and asking for help over the internet and rely in yourself.  If you want a job, there are plenty of them out there...  I lived in Santa Barbara so don't tell me there isn't.  See what "truth"?  What does this mean?  Call me your "angel" and I've heard your "cry", only it sounds more like excuses and moaning.  Stop blaming others for your problems and make some changed in your lives.  Where are your daughters?  Living in the street too?  Don't you think there is something wrong when you bear children and aren't able to take care of them properly.  Hell, I may not know anything about this, I'm only 24 years old...  I know shit happens and I feel for your perdiciment but, you need to make soemthing for yourselves, it's out there, you just have to find it and want it bad enough.  Good luck and God Bless.

my wife is going through that right now!\nshe gets a little feeling of confinement and not having her own money(as she says). like you she has worked ever since she was old enough a very responsible person and high wage earner, executive actually. now she is totally a stay at home mom and we are living paycheck to paycheck....financially it's hard but if you have daycare there is little advantage. you only have a few precious years to spend with your child before they are gone off to school and you will never get those times back. you are doing something that is WAY more important than yourself....you are helping mold a new person to go forward into the world, give yourself credit for that...it really is a worthy endeavor and you can always go back to work when the child is in school full time. \ntry doing something on-line from home while the baby sleeps if you can.\nBest Wishes, Have Fun:)))\nStu

Why do you have 3 kids and no job?  What happened?  Are you the mother or the father?  Where is the father/mother?  What do you want us to do?

well dear i work full time as a housewife mother and grandmother.  my pay is zero but one thank you is worth it. I also work part time and make very little but it is fun money. The joy of doing this is much more than the pay

What about a compromise? You admit that outside child care has had upsides for your daughter though she tends to be more exposed to illness which is expected. You also seem to enjoy the fact that you have the ability to be out of the house, working at a job you hopefully enjoy and I'm sure this aspect has left you with a feeling of a more direct contribution to the home in terms of finance. However you do say that now your husband makes more money than when you were a stay-at-home mom before so that wouldn't be an issue.\n\nSo, all things considered and while the money wouldn't be an issue, I think the real question comes down to your mixed emotions about full time mommy and in doing so giving up what's become a sort of escape in having a job outside the home. This is where maybe a compromise might be an alternative. Day care (4) days or so a week and a part time on those days (minus 1). The minus one day could be the day you spend in your home doing the things you both need and enjoy doing to make your home comfortable and clean for you and your family.

You could try the local newspaper office. They are always looking for kids to sell subscriptions, deliver newspapers, or other things. Also, you might want to try a workforce center in your town - they might not be able to help you given your age, but they can point you in the right direction. As for the babysitting thing, why don't you get your mom's permission and hang up flyers at your church (if you go) or at mom/dad's work (if they will allow you to do so)? It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep your head up, you'll get it. Good luck!

From my own experience, it may be worth going back to work for a little bit of time if you can handle it.  When my little one was 6 months no way did I want to go back.  I was crying, really upset and devastated at the thought.  Once I went back, I hated it.  I was desperately looking for a way out, as we could not have afforded for me not to work.  However, after about 2-3 months, it started to settle down.  I have been back now since Feb and it's okay.  I still would prefer to be at home, but to be honest, it is quite nice having some time for me to be me - if you see what I mean.\n\nHowever, to answer your question, in my quest for looking for something else I could do from home, I joined Avon.  I don't make a lot of money out of it, so couldn't afford it full time - but perhaps if I dedicated myself to it, I could?  I really enjoy working with Avon and they have some really nice stuff.\n\nOther things I considered were: arts and crafts (cards, jewellery) to sell on Ebay and Usbourne children's books.

Do you mean those advertised home-based jobs? I think they are pretty much a scam. Usually you have to buy stuff from them before you sell it, and you'll end up stuck if it doesn't sell.

You're going to do what you've always wanted to do: work from home. How I wish I had your computer savy, knowledge and expertise! I have to settle for encouraging people into giving me their old computers when they upgrade so I can clean them out and give them to needy people. One mother who had had a hip operation was able to work from home all winter last year, here in Maine, thanks to someone's generosity. Work from your home! You are your own boss. You can call the shots. You can either be affordable or impossible. You can be the guy people hire because his rates are sensible. That would be a daily cash flow... and the possiblilties are endless, because you have your home office from which you can work. You can hook up a second computer in your home to keep your business records so they are not accessible online (to anyone but you). Money, money , money! Start thinking money instead of being too old! Job one is: establishing a really great cash flow for YOU and your family. They are job one. When you work from home, suddenly, you are no longer at the beck and call of company offers in just New York City. Your office is the United States, period. When you get richer and can allow a sense of humour about all this stuff, you can extend your business to outside the states. Sound too good to be true? I told Matt he should work for himself. He is now in San Marcos, Texas, binding little copy books which he sells from his home. Self-employed; well off; happy. So - work for yourself. Be the boss. Be all those people who won't even look at you or treat you nice. I am sending this message with tons of positive, vibrant success energies! Give what I tell you some serious thought. Sit down, put your feet up and think about being the boss. The worker. The bookkeeper. The candlestick maker - and of course, the Bill Gates II, who retired early! (You think I'm kidding, but how can you know you will not be a real success???)  Best to you from G., South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

stick with a job--even if you dont like it, this is no time to be picky, I know it will be extremely difficult with the little kiddies, but take some college classes, one at a time if necessary, and you will broaden your options and open doors that were once closed and then you will have more control over your destiny I commend you for wanting to take care of your kids by yourself that is admirable but for now you have to do what you have to do

I would talk to your husband about finding a visiting nurse to come by and take care of your mother-in-law. Then... go register with a Temp agency. There are a lot of them out there. It gives you the chance to get back into the work force and find what you really want to do.\n\nAs for your age... that should not make a difference to a company that is looking for the right fit. Again, Temp agencies are good for this.\n\nGood luck!!!

I know someone that went through the same thing.  She has (4) children and stays home. She started her own home based business.  That keeps her busy, makes excellent money and has time for her and her family.  Have a look at this website.  www.opportunity4more.com.  The couple in the picture is the lady I am speaking about.  She would be great for you to contact and speak with.  She told me that she is much better now with staying home since she started her own home based business.  She  contributes ( a lot)  to the house hold income, feels good about what she is doing, has time for her kids and she also had time to do some personal development.  She has gone through welath creation and personal development courses that she highly recommends to someone like yourself.  Let me tell you she has helped me with my business and my lifestyle.  Take a look and see.
