Hey work from home Mamas, how do you make it work with your kids? I have an 8 month old and am potentially starting as a Financial Consultant, working remotely from home. I'm scared I won't be able to concentrate on work and won't be able to take care of my baby at the same time.

I live in a small town ish, I worked in almost every fast food place where I am at, most of them won't hire me back, I even worked at a dollar general and I'm black listed, I'm getting to the point where I feel like stuck where I'm at, I haven't made any difference at all like I am wanting too, by now I should be go...
