The hardest part about working from home is staying concentrated long enough to actually get work done. Between this baby and my short attention span the struggle is real 😩

Hi guys! I’m so broke right now and have a 9 month old but can’t work outside of home right now. Does anyone know what I can do? Any tips? Thank you!

Hey mamas, I’m applying for CAPS and Food Stamps and I’m trying to figure out the best way to get approved. My hours has refused to 15 hours so I’m thinking I should be okay. Is it best to submit a pay stub of an employment letter for income verification?

Currently feeling overwhelmed by all the medical claims coming in for my baby. I have two hospital bills for myself (contractions stopped the first day I went in), a hospital and ER bill for my baby, and all the pediatrician appt bills since. I’m grateful for insurance cause it could be much more expensive, and I ...

I’m a teacher and wanted to attend my final NCT session. It happened to fall on a school day and I therefore needed the day off. It was recorded as unpaid leave so it will be deducted from my wages. Would antenatal classes be considered a routine antenatal appointment (which is paid) or would you say that it should ...

I’m feeling so stressed about money . It’s slowing running out . I have no one to look after my son , and I can’t afford to send him to a nursery . The nursery wanted £1700 per month after the 15 hours deducted 😳. I’m trying to figure out how can I make money whilst I have my son. My old job didn’t actually pay…

Anybody who has done them, were you paid? I had to go into the office for 3 hours (plus one hour travel there and another travel back). Today I’ve been paid and there’s no reflection of any pay for this! I’ve been asked to go in again for an hour in the next week or so and again for a 3 hour meeting in mid-December....

Hi ladies! I’m a first time mom to a beautiful 3 month old; I just received an offer but it’s not a work from home position. I’ve applied to dozens of WFH jobs and completed assessments but nothing. Can anyone share some laid back WFH jobs that are swift with hiring?

I submitted an application a month ago and still no update. The people on the phone are rude and won’t give a timeframe. Don’t care my baby has no insurance and I can’t pay for it through get covered nj because they said we qualify for family care so I’m just stuck.

Any legit work from home jobs?

Anyone know of any legit wfh jobs?

My partner can only take two weeks unpaid maternity leave. I wondered how everyone navigated this? It’s extra money strain but I want him home for those first two weeks 😭

Hey y’all, I’m having a really hard time when I have to drop my baby off to go to work. And I’m missing her all day, sometimes I can barely concentrate. Just posting because I know you guys will understand.

Why do jobs hate when you want to be a private person and just do the job and go home?? I hate this so much. I don’t want to go to work and make friends 😩

If I work for a different company whilst receiving SMP is that allowed?

Hey mamas Anyone a stay at home mom? If so how are you making it finically? Any remote jobs?

Hi all, I recently had a new born on the 10th of this month and was wondering if anyone else had been through this... So my 6 year old is my first child and was already on my claim so my UC payments have always included the child element for her. I had my second baby on the 10th this month and reported its straight...

I am curious if there are other moms here who are investing/learning how to grow their stock portfolios? Seems like my husband and all his friends, and their friends friends AND all the extended male relatives are very knowledgeable and have formed their own WhatsApp groups to learn from each other about how to grow...

I’m work in healthcare. My job is restructuring my current role, basically adding more on my workload, with unclear directions starting week on Dec 1 and setting up a time study with quality/admin in a couple of weeks to “help manage my time more effectively”. I wanted to see people thoughts on this? We’re a small t...
