I'm not good with money. I'm going to be a mother of two and is a stay home mother, I'm afraid if I can't control the family cash flow, my family is soon be broke. My husband is quitting his job and still don't know where else to go after. He had a job offer from his friend but the working hours made him impossible for him to gather with his family.
The other possibility is to help his father with his small plastic business. But this makes my family being dependent to my husband's parents because that would be our only income source. My husband just don't want his parents dictate his family just because of this.
I like to make handcrafts so I really hope I can make something that I can sell to help my husband earning money. But I also need some advice on how to manage the money especially in this tight condition.
Anybody can help?

I advise that you note the expense of your family, and compare with the expenses every month or every week, then delet the needless expense. Of course, I think the best way is going out for a work in the right condition.

I really wish I can go to work about 6 months after my second delivery.
But this idea of going back to work . . . my mother in law won't like it.
Previously I left my daughter to her and work out of town, but this time I will look for a job in town. So just in case of anything I can be home as soon as possible.
Anyway, I hope I can be more neat with recording my expenses.
Thanks very much for your idea.
