There are some things you can do at home on a computer... like you could do work on amazon. They have a thing called MTurk. They have all kinds of things you can do on there and you could make a little money and transfer it to your checking/savings account and then you'd be able to buy diapers or have a little money incase you need anything or baby needs anything. That's what I do. Also, you could maybe make bows or something easy and try to sell them? Good luck mama. I know how hard it is. My SO is the only one making any money right now and that's only $499 a month. It's hard.. especially cause he likes to blow the money too.. but he does make sure Chloe has what she needs for the month before he does that.

theres no jobs i can do to work from home and we cant afford daycare. if i was to work i would just be paying for daycare with my paycheck, if i even made enough for that, so there would be no point in it. and we havae both talked about money and had said that we are gonna talk about everything, but the point is he ovrdraws the account almost every week because he doesnt keep up with what es spending and ends up not putting enough money aside for gas.

i get WIC were out right now i go today to get it, and food stamps screwed us over.

wecan make it just fine, he just doesnt think about this smurf and blows all the money, we make like 400 a week, at then end of Febuary he is gonna be getting hired on full time at his job and get a 4 dollar raise.

Quoting khigh:" I just don't think you should be complaining about not having money if you are doing nothing to contribute to the income. And, 19, broke, and TTC? Not smart."

not TTC yet weve had a few big purchases weve had to make the last couple weeks. its still gonna be a couple months if we do decide to.

Okay just to be clear, we have had to make some big purchases to fix up my car, such as new tires, he makes enough to support us without us struggeling (if he would stop blowing money) and in about 3 months he will be getting a 3 or 4 dollar raise, WE AE NOT TTC RIGHT NOW! It has been talked about to TTC in 6 months but that is still awhile away.

Could you reapply for food stamps? WIC is a big help, especially if you formula feed. My self and 2 of my DD's are on WIC and even though its just milk eggs cereal etc it saves us around $200 a month. Have you thought about doing online college? That way you can still stay at home with LO and if you quailfy for financial aid that is a huge help! I get right at $1,000 a month for "living expenses". I can't even begin to tell you how much that has helped my family. Not to mention you get a career out of it. I have another 2 years and I'll have my bachelors in education and I've been able to be a stay at home mom the whole time.

im planning on going back to college in a few years, i owe my old school money for some BS that they said wouldnt happen, after i get that paid i want to start online school. and we get foodstamps but our county has a new system and screwed a bunch of people this month including us. DH has agreed to give me his debit card every night before work so he doesnt spend money on fast food and vending. We get WIC i just went this morning to renew it,
