Working Full-time with Three Young Children!!

Hi M.,
if you are interested in working from home i would love to share a great business that i work for with a great team of moms. If you are interested go to my website www.themoneymakingmom.com & click on "get more info" and i'll contact you shortly

HUGS, HUGS M.!! I am also a teacher and a mom of 3. My children are now 8, 6 and 2. I wish I could say that it is going to be easy, but the one thing I do hold on to is the fact that as teachers we have a lot of time off that we wouldn't ordinarily have. The thing that really kills me is childcare costs. Currently, I pay about 80% of my take home pay to the daycare. That is painful.

We do what we have to do, though. You will make the best of it, I am sure. One thing that I have learned to do is to really have everything in the am set so that the morning isn't a horror show. I also have learned to say no to many committees and extra commitments at school.

Lastly, don't forget to take care of yourself every once in a while!! Easier said than done, I know.

Take care and email me anytime you want!!!

Congrats on the new baby to come!! I am a mom of 3 young boys! 5, 3, and 1. I am an Occupational Therapist but I needed to have more flexibility...I recently have gone into business for myself! There is an amazing new company to this area that is just taking off! I am a consultant for Barefoot parties....check out my website and contact me if you feel as inspired and excited as I was!!! Talk soon K.

M.,

I'm just curious have you tried an in home business. It might enable you to stay home with the kids during the day. Like I sell Tupperware and so my husband watches DJ at night while I do parties to make extra money! Just a thought!

Hey M.,

If you want to explore a home business, shoot me a message. Starting now would give you time to build it up, and you might not need to return to your day job in the fall. I started mine when my baby was 2 months old and I wish I had started it while I was pregnant!

Talk soon,
D.

Hi M.,
I just (three weeks ago) went back to work full-time and have three young ones (7,5,3). So far it's been fine. If anything, I'm more organized -- it kind of forces you to be. The worst is finding time to dl all the other stuff that needs to get done (laundry, errands). I'm actually thinking about trying Peapod because going to the grocery store with three kids is NOT fun.
My husband sounds a lot like yours -- when the dad is helpful, it makes all the difference. Luckily I don't have to worry about daycare -- my husband works the opposite shift (me 7-3, him 4-12), so he's home with my youngest. Having the other two in school makes it easier for me. Once yours are in school full-time, the fact that you are a teacher will really be great, as you'll have the same vacations, etc.
Don't worry -- you'll be OK, but you'll be tired. Make sure you get enough rest. Some chores will just have to wait (who cares if the baseboards aren't dusted?!?!), and accept any help from anyone who offers (for me, my mom has been a lifesaver).
Good luck,
L.

Since you are a teacher, have you considered tutoring instead of full time teaching? I do not want to lay guilt, because I am NOT in your shoes, but children are little just once.
The other lady said that she pays 80% of her pay to daycare, then you add the clothing, gas and other stuff for work and really how much is really going into the household.

Anyway, all that said, rest, make list and try once a month cooking. If you have not heard of it, I will put the link below. It is a life, time saver! That way you are not having to be tempted with fast food or quick type cooking stuff. It is all in the freezer and you pop supper into the oven each night.

Hi M.,

Congrats on your expectant baby girl!!

I have two young children and also had to go back to work because our financial situation did not allow me to stay home.

As I'm sure you made the adjustment from 1 child to 2 just fine, you'll do the same with 3.

I have no way of knowing if you'd be interested in this or not but if I could show you how to earn an income from home that will allow you to spend more time with your family, would that help you?

Feel free to contact me via email: ____@____.com D.

i really relate with you. not quite yet, but i am trying to figure out my financial situation with two in daycare once i have my second. i will be paying out more than half my check, so i have been asking myself is it worth it. i might bring home more waitressing weekend nights with my husband home, than my job now that i went to college for!! it's crazy. i don't know how people do it. we are also new homeowners so these first years are a little tough. good luck and good for you for working and caring for 3. someday we will look back and say how did we do it?!!

Hi M.,
I was just reading your post. The first thing I would do is have a Financial Needs Analysis done. They are Free,Custom & Complimentary. It shows you have to use the money you already have and put it to work better for you. Our Company will not try to sale you anything. We just simply educate you on "How Money Works" and will leave that pamplet with your family as well.
We also offer an excellant part-time career opportunity to those whom need more income. My main office is located in Oxford MA. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
