I don't want a job

[biggirl]

I am a stay at home mom. Recently we have been in a bind for money. I think I have to get a job. I don't want to. I like what I do now, and I don't want anymore responsibility.

I used to have a daycare, but it just got in the way of our life. I loved the kids, but it was too hard to take care of my own kids.

So...any ideas on how to come up with a massive amount of money without getting a job??? :dry:

Just wanted to get this off my chest. A few jokes wouldn't hurt. Rhino does an awesome job of supporting our family. It is my fault for the money bind....FYI

I understand. I do not want to go back to work either but I have burned through savings, and now only have my check from the military to support me. This check is not going as far as I wish it would. Now in a bind I am looking for a job. In your case though you have kiddos which makes the decision tougher. Daycare will suck the money from you, is there a Montessori nearby that both takes care of them and gives them an education? Does your church have a program like a daycare?

You can't take care of your own kids by yourself....but you are a stay at home mom and like what you "do"?

And your family, i.e. your husband and children, are in a bind now because of you?

I'm sorry if this comes across as blunt but to me you sound incredibly selfish.

chill, you are reading things into her post.
Having your own kids AND other kids in your home as a daycare is definitely harder because your kids need to learn the hard way to share your time and attention during the day. To make it worse, parents take advantage of the caregivers and overstay their welcome.... or start conversations and chats with you when they already pick their kids u late... and you never get enough time to take care of your own household, feed your family, go grocery shopping or spend some quality time with your kids and husband!
Having a home daycare is 10 times harder than any 9-5 job with kids in daycare or at school all day!

You sound very ignorant in your "blatant" post, cause you don't know much about having your own family!

[grlNIN]

I think she meant she worked/owned a daycare.



But if not, then you are 100% right

I reread it about 4x to make sure i was not overlooking something or reading it the wrong way.

Unless she mixed up what she meant to say or something.

I'm just gonna say uh oh

Why don't you blow dry your hair.





And mix in a few reps at the gym if your gonna post a picture with your shirt off. :tongue:

[jennysmurf]

Does anyone around you need a nanny? It's less stressful than having a house full of kids, and the money's pretty decent. Also, you could be a stay-at-home during the Summer, then get a job while the kids are at school in the Fall. You might be able to have the best of both worlds.

I don't care that i don't have my own rugrats running around, it doesn't make me know "less" about children, or make you know more because you have one. I have nephews and i have been around multiple kids at once in atmospheres where i was a babysitter.

I was not reading into her post, i took it absolutely word for word as to what she typed.

As far as ignorant sounds maybe you need to back off because any time someone has anything adverse to say about children in general you seem liek you are in attack mode.

She admits fault therefore admitting selfishness. No need to rub it in her face.

you are overlooking a lot, the point of view of a parent of a toddler and a young kid.
She also never said what got them in the bind for money and why she takes responsibility for it. You are assuming the worst instead of looking at other possible reasons.

[RhinoinMN]

Why don't you blow dry your hair.

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO!
















And I look the same just fatter.:down:

[jab]

i just got a job. yay. but after comfortably working from home for 2+ years i do not want to go back into society. i have forgotten how to be normal. i have achieved all.

I am not in attack mode, you are still misreading her post and having babysat for kids, nephews and being around kids still does not mean you have any insight on raising a family and being a mother.

You look at the pretty side of the picture and not all the work it takes.

[Hottub]

Running the daycare interfered with taking care of her own. She loved the kids.
She also admitted she was a main source of the problem and is just looking for advice.
Pretty clear to me.

I don't assume anything about anyone's life. Especially people that only exist to me in the context of a messageboard.

I wasn't rubbing it in her face to make her feel terrible about herself, i just don't see any kind of real caring on her part that she is the one responsible for their current economic situation and consequently, the lack of motivation to get her family out of a problem she created.

It has nothing to do with being a parent in terms of child rearing, it has more to do with being responsible for the children you created and the family that now exists around it.

Posting a thread on a messageboard airing the fact that you are having financial difficulties and then asking for quick money making solutions is not terribly indicative of a mother and wife who is taking a problem they created seriously but maybe that is just me.

[EliSnow]

Yes it does

I have to agree. I had sisters that were infants when I was 12-18. And I babysat a lot when I was a kid.

I learned so much more when I became a dad.

[RhinoinMN]

Yes it does

thats why gays shouldnt be teachers. they know less about kids because they have none of their own

She was joking about the quick money solution. That was fairly obvious.

She was venting.

[~Katja~]

and biggirl, instead of looking into going back to work, because we all know how much money one has to even make to just have 2 kids in daycare and still come out on top... have you guys thought of just re-budgeting in general?
I just had to do the same cause of unemployment and amazingly enough, with no daycare expenses and rethinking and cutting down on a few luxuries I am actually able to get by for as long as the UI remains.
Do you have any skill as far as arts and crafts or handy work that you could sell on the side? Or a business like Tastefully Simple or give Sex toy Parties :laugh: anything you could do on the side after Rhyno gets home and can take over with the kids?

[EliSnow]

yeah!

thats why gays shouldnt be teachers. they know less about kids because they have none of their own

Um, there is no requierment that teachers have kids.

And gays can have kids of their own.

[TooLowBrow]

cant you just put the kids up for adoption?

problem solved

[dino_electropolis]

I smell a cat fight brewin over here, boys!


ladies, please be sure to pull at each others hair and for gods sake rip at those bra straps!!!!

[mikeyboy]

yeah!

thats why gays shouldnt be teachers. they know less about kids because they have none of their own

Are you going to twist everything I say today? I'm just saying that there are many intangibles in being a parent so that you can't totally understand being one until you are one, despite exposure to kids, babysitting, etc. How does that have anything to do with teachers? Did I say that only parents can be good teachers?

[Hottub]

Yes it does

Fuckin' A right. You'll have to trust us on this one.

[grlNIN]

She was joking about the quick money solution. That was fairly obvious.

She was venting.

Well, i checked the forum and it was in Confessional so i took it as less of a "very serious" thread than it would be in "That's Life".

I honestly did not get the impression that she was joking about anything in her post.

[dino_electropolis]

yeah!

thats why gays shouldnt be teachers. they know less about kids because they have none of their own

Actually, thats not why gays shouldnt be teachers.


They shouldnt be teachers because they live in sin and touch kids.


Duh.

[Furtherman]

I was cracking up, but that's only because hammersavage hammersavaged his reply.

I 100% agree with you. Not having kids doesn't mean that people can't have an educated opinion about people that do. To me we might even have a bit of a better prospective because we aren't in the middle of the situation.

As for the OP if you are the cause of the money bind then you are obligated to help fix the bind, it's also not fair to let your husband shoulder the whole burden children or no children you are partners in the marriage.

[drjoek]

It sounded like the original post was that Gwen/biggirl was bemoaning the need to go back to work when she enjoys being a stay at home parent.She has stated here before that she ran a daycare and I can appreciate how difficult that can be She welcomed a little joking but surely didn't need to be subjected to self righteous indignation from grlNIN about how she deals with this.However this often seems the tact she takes. Rather perhaps grlNIN could offer some support or stay out of it.

[grlNIN]

I don't regard emoticons as any indication of an emotion, thought or attempt at jest.

Why do you think she used the smiley she did? And do you really think someone would seriously ask the question if there was some way to get massive amounts of money without working, etc?

Also, she followed up by saying

Just wanted to get this off my chest. A few jokes wouldn't hurt.

[mikeyboy]

John Commuta says you can turn your debt into wealth using just the money you already make.

[RhinoinMN]

I'm sorry if this comes across as blunt but to me you sound incredibly selfish.

Apologizing before insulting seems disingenuous.

i.e. "I'm sorry to say this, but your ass makes me want to throw up sometimes. Not all of the time, but just sometimes."

I am sorry that i am unfamiliar with the insights to this woman's (?) life. I didn't take any type of indignation and even apologized for the fact that what i had to say might seem blunt.

Sorry i don't pussyfoot or coddle people whom i have absolutely no relationship with. It's not the biggest crime in the world that she is having money issues but frankly the fact that it's her own fault and that she is bemoaning the fact that she (GASP) has to probably work to get her family out of her own debt is nothing that i feel compassionate about.

[RhinoinMN]

John Commuta says you can turn your debt into wealth using just the money you already make.

I'll let her know. If only she listened as much as I do we wouldn't have this problem.

Got it

Is there?

I already mentioned that. Didn't go over smoothly. Then I put myself out there. Not good either.

Not once did I see her seeking to be coddled.

When I read it through your eyes she was totally asking to be bitch slapped.

[grlNIN]

Perhaps you should.

Nah.


Why do you think she used the smiley she did? And do you really think someone would seriously ask the question if there was some way to get massive amounts of money without working, etc?


I didn't take her question seriously, she is venting and i gave my response to her.

Careful. He likes to spit too.

[TripleSkeet]

Hmmm, from what I read in the original post I thought she was asking for advice on how to maybe make some extra money without having to go back to work.

So while everyone else is on their soapbox, Im going to give a suggestion (For the record, Im with Mikeyboy)

Biggirl, I dont know you so I dont know what youre good at, but this is something me and my wife put together for extra cash. It didnt stop the need for both of us to work but it did help with extra money.

We started doing cakes. At first simple ones you see in AC Moore with the shaped cake pans, but now we are actually doing stuff like you see on Ace of Cakes. My wife is really good at cooking and baking and Im pretty creative when it comes to design. Together weve been making good money taking cake orders. Everytime we sell a cake we throw business cards in there and I post the picture on my Facebook. Its been doing very well. Next step is our own website (which I will shamelessly plug here when I get it up and running)

So if youre a good baker or cook, something like cakes or catering might be an easier way to make money from home. And its tax free. I dont know, it was just a suggestion.

[grlNIN]

Really?



It looks like you took the question very seriously.

Ok ya got me you rascal!

I'm sorry if this comes across as blunt but to me you sound incredibly selfish.

Get over yourself please, your gimmick sucks worse than Jezo's.

True, but you are talking about a very small percentage of society. I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[drjoek]

You actually went with the job/blowjob joke there huh?

It is unfortunate but his thinking is only of his morning wood.

Wow...I really thought this thread would die right away. First off...I think it is hilarious that grlNIN started off the way she did. I love arguments. And...I reread my post, and my grammar is incorrect. It did sound like I don't like watching my own kids (some cases that is true).

Anyhow, I like being a stay at home mom and caring for my children only. My son has Aspergers...he is a real challenge, my daughter is a diva. It takes my whole day to accommodate them and all night to relax for the next day's events.

I have watched other people's kids. The kids aren't the problem...the parents are the problem. Plus I have to work about a 10-11 hour day with no lunch hour or breaks. It is a real drag.

Rhino and I are old fashioned thinkers. The husband works and supports the family, and the wife stays home takes care of the house and family.

The money problem comes from my overspending. I love to shop. I have quit shopping for now except for the necessities. We have a lot of toys and a lot of fun = costs a lot of money. We'll get through it.

BTW grlNIN: I am real, and I am spectacular!

I liked the cake idea. I can make really cool cakes, like mario brothers and barbies mud wrestling cakes.

I'm in your boat too BigGirl. I'm a stay at home Dad but both my kids will be in school fulltime in the fall. We can use the extra dough but I don't want to go back to the corporate world. I hate the travel and want to stay close to the kids. The cake idea is a great one, there are lots of things to do if you think outside the box.

I have been doing a lot of film, tv and commercial extra work because they film a lot in my area. I joined the union and they call me when they need me. It works for me. So I'm thinking that's what I'll be doing for a few extra bucks when the summer ends.

Good luck to you and Rhino.

And send me a cake.

K you are amazing and lucky that you have beerman. You did a real good job in raising your kids. Rhino and biggirl also have my admiration for trying as hard as they do and the obvious love and passion they share.

[~Katja~]

hey Gwen, somebody had posted this on .net once and I am making good use of it; there is a site called Mint.com where you can manage all your accounts and set a budget. It helps keeping track and sends you e-mails when/ as soon as you overspend on one of your budget items.
My friend who recently lost her job did a lot of calling around to reduce monthly costs on tv/ phone and internet... home and car insurance and set up a monthly budget... they are saving over 500/ month on that alone.

I love the cake or maybe kids b-day party catering idea... anything you can do from home while being with the kids.
I know how hard it is to get anything done though, ever since I am home my son will not leave my side... from bathroom to cleaning and cooking... he is right next to me at all times, if anyhow possible he is on top of me cause he cannot stand to not have my attention.

I also have to extend my admiration to you for being a single mother. I have a deep respect for mothers like you who are doing the best job they can without giving up.

The point is that y'all worked it out. That is what I think Rhino and gwen are doing.

As every single man should be. :wink:

Thanks for the advice Katja. I just read this crazy book called America's Cheapest Family. It is helping me out a lot, but the budget is tricky. I may just check that website you mentioned. Right now, we are in the problem of what we can give up for awhile just to pay down some debt. It is hard to get rid of the fun stuff when you are used to having it.

My only advice would be ask Hammer for some advice. He's a pro on this topic.

[TripleSkeet]

The cakes really are awesome and fun to do. Now if only I could find a way to make money for making sig pics.

I don't know about mint.com they ask for your account info which scares me
