Feeling kinda stuck. I have two toddlers, I’m a stay at home mom for a few reasons but also we ran the numbers and realized that we are actually saving money with me being at home because the cost of daycare/nanny in our area would be more than I could earn immediately. currently rising inflation has made it so that my husband’s income is no longer enough money to cover our basics. We budget our expenses but when it comes down to it, no matter what things we’ve cut out (including TV subscriptions etc), we can’t cut enough to make his income cover everything. The cost of living has tripled across gas/food. We’ve changed our grocery shopping around, but it’s still not enough. I used to work from home with our first when he was a baby- it was close to impossible because I had no help. My husband was working 12 hour shifts and he helped when he got home but I couldn’t fit an entire work day into two hours once he was present. Anyways when I got pregnant again he told me to quit as his income did cover everything. We weren’t well off but we were comfortable. Now, we are literally running a negative every month. I have looked into trying to get some jobs at home like proofreading or transcription, he’s trying to get a second job on the weekends to make up for it so I don’t have find a job- which I greatly appreciate, but he’s exhausted and I really don’t want to make him do that. The other issue is that we are going through a tough phase (it’s been months of getting 3 or less hours of sleep) where both kids aren’t sleeping well, so I’m not getting any sleep either and idk how good of an employee I’d be with how sleep deprived I am. Sigh. Idk if I should pursue the work from home job but I feel like I have to help him somehow.
