Morning IM's! I am desperately looking for some advice. I am married with 2 children aged 7 and 3. I am very happy in my married life but not within myself. I lost my job just over 12 months ago and feel it's put a massive strain on our lives. We made the decision that I would stay home and spend more time with the kids as I didn't do any of that when I our 7 year old was younger. I went back to work full time when he was 7 weeks old so I carry an enormous guilt that I missed everything with him. We thought we would tighten the strings on everything so that it was possible for me to stay home now. My husband works full time and only brings home about $700 a week, it just hasn't been working. We are always behind on bills and can't do a good grocery shop as much as we need to. My husband I and I are both overweight ( me more than him) so I was also going to use this time as a get myself healthy time, but because of money out food budget is usually very tight so that makes it harder. We live in a small country town so we don't have access to markets and things like that.
Anyway my question is does anyone do or know of any legit home jobs or businesses that are beneficial? I would appreciate any advice, thank you xo

I just want to help you with that guilt. Personally I think being home when a child is older is far better. Firstly because they can actually remember it, and that's when they are more open to outside influences eg bullying at school. So being home allows you the opportunity to counter any negativity, answer questions and generally be available when they actually need it and you can actually influence there mental health, behaviour and social skills. You can't influence a child under 1 years old!
I didn't realise this myself until my kid was older, that in a lot of ways babies can be fed and held by anyone, but those conversations you have when your child walks in the door from school are really important.
