Balancing Work and Family

Quote From: iamawahm

I am a work at home mom and have been for a few years. I have a 6 month old baby now and find that I do not get as much done as I used too. I still do a little big of writing and write on my blog , http://momworksathome.blogspot.com , but I am having a hard time keeping up with my other ventures. I am falling behind in my sewing and baking. I also am thinking of giving up my booth at the local antique mall. I just about have given up on my ebay selling. My husband switched jobs and now works thrid shift so that puts a even bigger train on me and I have fallen behind in my house work even. I have 2 teenagers and then the 6 month old son who is a very spoiled and does not want too far from me. But I think that is my fault because I was told 14 years ago that I would never have anymore kids and then last year ,SURPRISE, I find out I am pregnant at 35!! Oh well. I hope that when he gets older and more independant I can get back to ALL of my work.

Hello,

 

I am sorry I have no advice to offer.  However, I would like to ask you for advice.  I work a full time job from 8-5pm.  I noticed on your message where you said you work from home.  I would like to know what you do so that I can earn extra money working from home.I need to pay off my two credit cards that my husband does not know about.  He travels 85% of the time so I would be able to do work from home when he is out of town.  I am not into keeping secrets from him but when I got these cards we were at a point in our lives where I was not sure we were going to be together due to him having cheated on me.   I DO NOT wish to tell him.  I can pay these on my own but I fell behind on them due to losing my job, so now I am playing catch-up.

 

Can you please help?

 

Thank you,
