I need help guys... I can't handle it anymore.. I used to work like 60 hours a week but I quit my job to be a stay at home mom and a good wife because I wasn't able to juggle all while I was working... But now we are struggling very badly to just get by.. And I need to figure out some ways to help put food on the table.. can someone please give me some ideas.. I know there is freelance writing but I don't know where to start or what to write about.. I do a little ebay but it hasn't helped to much.. I just need to help some how because I feel worthless and it is getting really bad... any ideas will be considered..

LillyBelleDaisyRose You are not worthless, you are a good mom and about to become a mom of one more. I am thinking you could get a part time job but it would have to be something where you could sit, and not do any lifting.I realize that for you and your family like so many here in Ca times are really hard.Are you eligible for food stamps as that would help out a lot? And here in ca they have some programs for mothers to be that help put food on the table too.I imagine your hubby is probably working as hard as he c an but is there any way he might get some overtime at work?Look up on the net for more writing programs and also try some surveys as there are some that pay you in cash. Mysurvey is one of them also Harris Poll and opinion. sorry I cannot think of more ways to help.

Thank You... Yes I have applied for foodstamps, and I also have WIC but I don't know if I am eligable yet for foodstamps but I am praying we are because that will be a big help... I will try the survey thing so thank you very much

I think that you need to map out your budget. You need to consider what money is coming into the household (in the form of what your husband is earning), and what money is leaving the household (in the form of gas, bills, insurance, and other payments). Then from there, you need to figure out how much more money that you would need to earn in order to be comfortable again.
You may want to consider a part time job in order to make up for the money that you are lacking. I have also heard that some call centers have remote employees (those that work from home), and there are other work-at-home methods that have been successful for some. Working at home would allow you to still be a stay-at-home mother.
