You might make a little off this site, but not enough to live on. I don't live on the money that I get from the internet, but do surveys and things for extra money. PM me if you would like some links.

Hi... I'd recommend you to get that job back or any other job. Online working has not yet become a complete source of earning yet. With a baby to feed, you need to find a regular job. If there's no one to look after the kid, then you can put the kid in a nursery or something like it.. The kid'll miss you, no doubt, but there's no option... I heard J K Rowling had similar circumstances. There was a time when she did not enough to feed her kid. But she'd imagination, which gave birth to Harry Potter... If you have some extra ordinary quality, then you can do it too. Sorry, if my reply is too curt. But I feel for the baby, and my advice comes from those feelings... Take care...

I must agree with this advice. Online earning is hard, and must people barely earn a few cents here & there. I will never leave me day job, before I'll see a drastic improvement in my earning for at least a few months (and will see it is stable). I also have kids to feed, and out of concerns to your kid I'm warning you - don't relay on online earning!

Correct me if I'm working, are you working at home? Anyway, I am a working mom too but my work is outside home. This is my dilemma when I had my first son. I wanted to just stay at home and take care of him. Unfortunately, I need to help my husband with our finances like we still need to pay for the monthly amortization of our house. So here I am working full time outside home and we hire a nanny to take care of my son. I actually still want to pursue staying at home but that would be possible after 5 years from now. But as early as now, I am trying to have extra income so if ever I decided to finally quit my job I'll have something to work at home. Is your husband not around too? I wish you the best in luck here. Try to search work at oDesk too.

I am working outside home too and my partner is working as well. It is really a hard decision i made in quitting my job but i considered a lot also. I am earning only a minimum wage and spending a lot in my transportation and other expenses while working. That is why i come into a decision of dropping my job since i am hopeful that i can find a good online job so that i can be with my son. All the best for us!

Working from mom isnt easy, and it would take some bit of time, more patience before you can actually earn substantially to provide for you and the baby. Eventually it will be, for if you're just starting now, it will take some time. It doesn't have the security of getting a paycheck by the end of the month as compared to a "daytime" job. But I can understand where you're coming from, you're just being a mom who wants to be there for her baby first. Try checking out other legit sites, don't just put your efforts in one site. Maybe you can also get a part time job as well. Good luck!

Working from home for earning decent money is not that easy. But you can earn some good amount if you are good at writing. You can take up freelance writing. Craiglist is the best site for finding freelance writing jobs. But you can take up some other job during the day so that you are not left in a lurch financially. But you have to follow time management in this. Wish you all the best!

Hi. First, I wish u could be patience for this situation and keep praying That God will show you the way for solution. As i know, some my feiends who did not want to leave their baby for working, they have business like online shopping. they sell some stuff by online. maybe you can try it. because to make mylot as your prime work maybe yes it will help you but maybe a little.

You can always earn from online sites. You can choose from different sites that offers online job but make sure to check it's legit. You can earn from writing although it's not that big but enough and slowly earn bigger after.

It must be hard for you to raise your child alone and at the same time make money for you and your baby's daily needs. Working home online is okay but you need to make sure that the money yiu are earning is enough. I feel so worry about you. But don't lose hope. There are a lot of online opportunites that are available for you. You just have to know where you are most suited. Good luck to you. I know you can make it.

hello! welcome to mylot. You may try to check on "make extra money" where you can find more options on how earn more online. Mylot is not that easy. I just love mylot 'coz this is a place where I have lot of friends that I can share with anything under sun. They help me thru the ups and downs of my life. Teaching me on what to do and not to do. They let me know and understand what life is in a real world.

Hi dear gerlieann,the money from mylot is too limit to raise you and your baby,so if you insist want to work online,I think you may be looking for other kind of online job,such as writing,design,type,and so on.But even you do so,the money still is limited,so in my opinion,you had better to find the part time job which just cost you about 4-5 hours/day,and you can have the time to take care of your baby as well.

hi gerlieann, it seemed like you had a big decision to make and you did what you thought was right for you and your baby, I am hoping that something will give for you sometimes soon, But I do know to make a living here on my lot can be very time consumming and you still may be away from actually spending that quality time with your baby.. Good luck to you....
