How to work and still be a stay at home mom

I get so frustrated trying to figure out if any of these work form home jobs are actually legit. I have heard of so many frauds when it comes to these companies. I am about to get out of the Army, and I am due to have my second child in June and wish I could find a way to make money without leaving the house. Any suggestions out there? It seems like all the sites want you to pay a registration fee that seems ridiculous. Help?

I'm really not sure. I have three kids and I needed a change in my life (job) so I took an online course to get my certificate as a medical transcriptionist. I just graduate a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking for a job as an MT now. There is so many people that I have talked to that do this at home. They go to the hospital or clinic like once a week and do all the rest at home. I'm looking forward to it. It would be great to be home with my kids. Good luck!

Good luck to you too. I thought about going and getting my massage therapy license because you can build your own clientel and still make your own hours. It's hard with one kid for me right now since I'm in the Army but I can't imagine once I have my daughter in June having to be away working from both of them every day. Hopefully I can find something with a decent income.

I thought about doing that too. Do you have kids of your own? My only concern in doing that is that I don't want to be so exhausted at the end of the day that i don't want to deal with my own kids. Seems like a tough choice for me to make.

yes, I have kids of my own which are all in school now. But I have done this for 17 yrs now. It has worked out great for me. I was able to stay at home with my kids and take care of my house. I had no out of the home expenses and I made money! Its a hard choice to make, but it totally works for me.
