Dreading day care

If you can work from home but don't need tons of money I have two sites for you. They both do the same thing. The one I just joined so I'm not sure what the earning potential is on it. The first is chacha.com. They are a company that people text for fun to find answers to stuff. They pay people with computers at home to search for the answers people ask. The job I do for chacha is a little different and it pays less but I was still getting around $300 a month. The other site is www.kgbkgb.com They work the same way.

i can't help you with the work from home ideas.... but maybe i can shed some light on the seperation. i luckily when i had my son, didn't have to go back to work for a year. we were financially secure that i could stay home and take care of him. but eventually the time came where it was needed for me to go back to work for a little while (and still there lol)... and i had to put my son in daycare because i wasn't lucky enough to have family that wasn't working that could take care of him for me. i fortunatley knew a lady in daycare (i dated her son a few years back lol)... and with all the news about daycares/abuse, and whatnot, .... i decided to go with her, because i knew her personally, and knew the daycare and what his surroundings were going to be on a daily basis. if you decide to put your child in daycare.... please please please do your research, ask questions. you surely dont' want to have to worry about anything while you are away. being home with my son for a year, and the thought of putting him in daycare was kinda sad, and it didn't fully hit me until the night before i was going back to work/ and his first day of daycare.... i cried my eyes out.... but when i dropped him off, i was fine. as much as i love my son, it was kind of a relief to have someone i trusted, to take care of him, and he didn't really fuss. i knew he would be fine. it is very scary to leave your child, but if you can trust in the person, and get to know the person, and know, that from the time you leave, til the time you get back, your child will be completly taking care of, it gets easier. she even told me i could call and check on him as much as i wanted lol. i think i only called once at lunch to see how he was doing. when you pick a daycare... make sure you rem to take your child in to meet/spend some time with the daycare person. see how your child reacts to them, and how they react to your child... that is important. and there is so much more you need to know about daycares before you choose... like i said do your research about the daycare. here in pa, we have a child care information service place (that does subsidized daycare), and they have a list of all the daycares in the area, and how to find out all about them, the q's you should ask and whatnot..... i would check into that in your state... good luck, and congrats on the baby girl!!!

One option not mentioned is to provide child care for other people in your home. You can charge $18 to $20 dollars a day, per child and watch up to 3 children without being registered with the state. Up to 6 children if you are registered. Maybe you could charge more depending where you live. I live in a small town so $18 to $20 is about it. That is between $90 and $100 a week per child, and with 3 children that is not to bad. You can be picky as to the ages of the children too. It is an option for staying home with your own sweet girl.

It's extremely hard to let your child go. Whether she is 12 weeks old and going to a day care or baby sitter or if she is 4 and going to pre-k. As a stay at home mom I would have to say it is easier to let your child go when she is an infant and you will be at work to take your mind off of the sadness of her being away from you. If you stay at home with her then when pre-k comes it is even harder on you because you don't have to get up and go and you will mope around your house until she comes home. Good luck with your decision. If you stay at home to work you will make less but you won't have to pay for daycare or the gas to go to work. Figure out how going back to work and how working at home will benefit you.

I have a 5 months old baby and i have 12 mths unpaid maternity, i have to decide by august wheather i come back or not and honestly i don't think i will, is too early my son won't even be one yet. 12 weeks is not nearly enough, you are going to miss out on a lot if you do go back and those little moments are priceless, priceless moments someone else will see and not appreciate it nearly as much as they should be. I need the money, i'm feeling the pinch now, i'm so used to having my own money and buying whatever i what whenever i want but i guess i'll have to give it up, just for a while longer, after all my partner has a good job and we are fine making a few sacrifices for now but it wont be forever, eventually they grow and you want your freedom by age 2-3 but is totally worth it!
