I have been stay at home mom for 5 yrs and want to go back to work. What are my options?

I have a bachelors in IT. I was working before taking off for kids. I want to start working but not sure how to proceed. What are my options if I want to change my field completely? I would like to explore other ideas where I can use my knowledge but will not be doing predictable IT work.

Any low startup business for stay at home mom?

Unregistered User — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 16:39:50 +0000

Question to help my neighbor. She does not have not much space at home for stocking inventory and cannot carry big boxes as she is disabled

She’s looking to join the on-line work from home businesses where she can enjoy flexible hours and the freedom of being her own boss.

Maybe she will not reach financial freedom but she would like the benefit of being able to be around her family and she needs a second income to raise her children.

Any idea to help her. She would prefer a mail order or internet business.

I’m a stay @ home mom but would like to find work that I a would be able to do @ home. Know of any?

I’m a mother of two and would love to work from home not only to spend time with my kids but because daycare is very expensive and we can’t afford it. I want to start making some money to help my very hard working husband get out of debt. He works 14 hours a day 6 days a week. I did graduate from high school and I do have some experience with office work. At the age of 18 I was being trainned to become a Pharmacy Tech but for personal reasons I had to leave my job @ the pharmacy. If you know of any work that I can do from home please let me know.

Are there grants for small businesses run by single moms?

Unregistered User — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:56:39 +0000

I am a single Mom with a small business are there any grants out there for me?

My business has been open for under 2 years now but I would like to expand my clientele. Without extra money for advertising it’s just not possible. I have found several websites that offer information on grants (single mom and womans) but they want you to pay to get that information. Can I get any of this information without having to pay for them?? I am afraid that if I pay for the information then it might turn out to be a scam and I will waste the money.

I am looking into making money as a stay-at-home mom. But I would like to actually be earning more than what my inventory costs. What company(s) (Creative memories? Avon? Mary Kay?

Is a floral business from home a good idea for a single mom?

I like the idea of being home with my kids but want to make sure I’ll make enough money to support us.

I live in a metropolitan area so I think there is a lot of business around here, probably a lot of competition, too.

Anyone has any thoughts on a floral home based business? I’m a single mom and love flowers.

How do I accept being a stay at home mom?

Unregistered User — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:47:19 +0000

I’ve been a stay at home mom for over 4 1/2 years, since I got pregnant with my first right after finishing school and getting married. But I still struggle with not feeling like I’m doing something worthwhile. I couldn’t imagine putting my 3 girls in daycare, and all the money I would make working would probably just go towards paying for the daycare. But I feel like I’m not accomplishing anything all day, when all I do is hold my screaming infant and fulfill my toddler and preschooler’s every whim. Even if I do get chores actually done I still feel like I should be doing more but can’t. Does anyone have any advice or encouragement?

Now that I’m pregnant, what should I do?

Unregistered User — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:11:43 +0000

Now that I’m pregnant, should I work on my writing, start my dog walking business or be a stay at home mom?

I have always been “undecided” as far as my career goes … I’ve had great jobs, but never finished college or had a traditional “career” path. I’ve been a massage therapist, HR Manager, and now I want to start a dog walking business … and all along, I’ve always written — blogging and a novel I’ve worked on for 2 years. Thing is, I’m 11 weeks pregnant now, and that changes everything … I no longer have the luxury I once had — of being “wishy washy”. Should I pursue my writing for real this time, and/or start a business that would be quite rewarding for me (dog walking). I’m so confused, now that I’m pregnant, and I don’t want to start another thing I can’t finish … OR, should I just be a stay at home mom?

P.S. Money is not an issue — I could be a “stay at home mom” if I wanted, but I have always felt that JUST doing this would be a failure … I feel I HAVE to be able to support myself.

What is the normal routine for a stay at home mom?

Unregistered User — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:57:37 +0000

I am not a stay at home mom. I work a full time job, however I do occasionally have a day off during the week (Obviously today). I know that on these days, my 3 yr. old and I have no set routine. I get up and see my older child off to school, but then my daughter and I sleep in till we feel like getting up, usually between 8:30-9:30. Even if I have things that I need to take care of, whether it is clean house, run errands or whatever, I don’t have a set schedule. I just do it when I feel like it.

My daughter watches TV, colors, plays with dolls, swings on her swing set or whatever. I find that these days are so relaxed and laid back compared to having to work a full time job outside the home, punching a time clock. I just wonder if stay at home moms actually try to have some type of schedule everyday. When you don’t really have to, why would you want to deal with that stress of a set schedule?

Can a stay at home mom open a bank account without a job?

Unregistered User — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:54:05 +0000

Stay at home mom, married for too many years, dealing with issues at home. Has a joint account with husband but wants to be more independent. Can she open a Money market account with the money she gets weekly form her husband without having to explain the bank how she gets it? She wants to protect herself and safe money “in case” she ever divorces. Also, will she only pay taxes on the interests earned on the money she deposited since the husband already paid to the IRS?

“This gigglesome picture book about a `working mom’ who’s a witch fairly bursts with luminous illustrations, riotous counterparts to the deadpan text,” noted PW. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3 and up: any cartoon drawings tell the real story of this working mom who experiments in her lab, flies off to meetings, and makes weird dinners. For this woman is a witch, an occupation that has its up side when it comes to giving out-of-this world birthday parties and doing her thing during parents’ day at school. The fun is all in the bright, colorful pictures that give meaning to the simple text; without them, there would be no story at all. Cauldrons, toads, salamanders, and bats are all here, and are all the more hilarious because they appear in the midst of a traditional suburban household. Youngsters will go back to this one again and again, each time finding new details to laugh over. Marie Orlando, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY

How can stay at home mom entertain an 11 month old boy?

Unregistered User — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:54:15 +0000

Any fresh ideas for entertaining an 11-month old boy? I am a stay at home and work at home Mom!

I am lucky enough to run my husband’s successful business as office manager from home while watching my very bright and precocious almost-walking 11 month old son.

So far, everything has been rosy and he seems ahead of the pack developmentally. However, I worry about him getting bored now when I’m working on the computer or on a business call.

He is self-soothing and plays well by himself with no whining. He socializes well with other children on play dates and at the local playground. I just need some neat ideas about new things I can expose him to inside the house–things I can play at with him and things he can work on by himself. He’s not ready to draw yet, however–I tried crayons and he still wants to eat them! I am also an older and educated Mom and he’s my first child. We have tons of toys for him–I’m really looking for some more creative solutions for those periods I need to be at my desk. Hope you can help!
Someone objected, so–the father of my son is not my husband–yet.

He is my fiance and we have been together for more than 5 years. We’re getting married next year. I’ll admit, sometimes I say “husband” because it’s easier and it’s what the world expects–we have 2 other children (my stepsons) who call me Mom and I handle all of their school stuff.

My fiance and I feel and operate as though we are married–we are just both previously divorced and haven’t felt pressured to marry quickly–though having a child together and me having a different last name has become increasingly difficult. I apologize if my slip offended anyone. It was not intended to.

Is it Wrong to Want to be Stay at Home Mom?

Unregistered User — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:38:50 +0000

My daughter is in daycare and I work full time but want to be a stay at home mom. Is this wrong?

My husband and I both work full-time because we have to, financially (and no we don’t have any extras, just house, 1 car payment and utilities. No cable or cell phones either). I would love nothing more than to stay home with my daughter to guide her and raise her, instead of putting her in daycare all day.

For the year and a half that she has been in daycare, she’s been constantly sick – she gets over one thing, she picks up some other sickness there. I feel soooooo guilty about this. I mean, just as a general consensus from the moms out there, is it bad to have your kids in daycare?

I think that if you have to, then you have to (like my husband and I do), some people don’t have a choice – it’s either that or loose your home and go hungry, you know? Any suggestions for making things work?

I’d like to mention again, we don’t spend $ on any extras, we don’t even go out! I just want to hear what you think on this topic and if you have any suggestions as to how to make it work.

The Best Single Mom in the World: How I Was Adopted

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:43:47 +0000

The Best Single Mom in the World: How I Was Adopted – A parent and child share in the telling of the mother’s work with an agency to find “a child to adopt, to love, and take care of forever”; her trip across the sea to meet the birth mother, who “wanted the best for you, but she couldn’t take care of you”; and bringing her daughter home.

Although there is no father, there is a grandfather to bond with and an African-American best friend. Life is good and everyone is happy, especially the little girl, who clearly adores her mother.

The story is somewhat didactic and the smiling characters of different ethnicities and ages are too obvious and ever present. Still, it is well told and has charm. The illustrations are especially engaging with brightly colored, patchwork scenes framed in various muted tones. Every inch of space is alive with cheerful colors depicting birds, flowers, cozy rooms, and smiling faces. The book is best for sharing one-on-one or for use with small groups in a themed lesson.

Marlene Gawron, Orange County Library, Orlando, FL
