sorry some ppl seem kind of snarky in their response. maybe they have something against SAHMs and if so they shouldnt be replying to your question in the first place. or maybe they are just bitter because theres a difference between being silly and being rude and having an attitude. taking the time to answer your question with an opinion rather than an answer to your question leads me to believe that they do in fact haabout the ve a little resentment about the issue and are using this as an opportunity to vent their negative views. otherwise, they simply would ignore your question because they'd think its too silly to respond to. period.
with that being said, im new to the bump and am not much of a message board person but i know my way around and read up on a few and to tell you the truth, the 'search' like someone mentioned is not the best (ive literally spent over an hour looking for a certain message that i knew the title of and the writer of it but when i logged in, the screen would take me to the homepage and even with filters, i couldnt find it. it was bookmarked on another computer) and i always browse at least the first 2 pages of a board and i didnt see your question in the first 2 pages on here, even though i have no doubt that its been asked before. and all the boards ive read never had many rude responses if any at all so dont worry about it.
IN REGARDS TO YOUR QUESTION, the only thing i have to say is that i heard someone mention before how they do medical billing from home and that if you are looking for a stay at home position, you can either do an office job that you already worked at and talk to the boss about letting you work remotely-as some people here have mentioned, or you can look into data-entry type jobs (like medical billing) where you just need to input data and that can be done with any place that has internet and computer access at any time of the day providing that you get the job done on time. i think they'd work on it while they kid was napping or playing or something.
since any income is good, i'd look into the possibility of maybe finding a vocational program where you can get your degree in a year or less and find jobs in data entry fields. of course, before doing any of that, you should consult with a counselor and ask around to see if the field you are going into will provide you with these work at home possibilities. its not a short term thing. you'd have a degree and be enrolled in online classes for 8 mos-2 yrs depending on how much time you can put into it-but its something you have for the future after the kidlets are grown.
a quicker solution is looking into fields you are normally good at or involved in-and getting creative. like maybe you can do some dog sitting or babysitting in your area or if you have experience, you can do freelance editing or freelance work for people on craigslist, etc. this latter option is mostly good if you network and stuff or get lucky and find something that suits you. otherwise, a long term but more stable solution is looking to get those data entry positions. not all require degrees. but again, this would require some luck and going to interviews and establishing urself first in the company before working form home. it would be like on-the-job training
good luck and take care!
Who are you? We are SAHM, how would we have something against them. We have something against those that ask the same question over and over, also those that think there is some magic job that we all have. Oh and we also have something against those that feel like all we do is sit at home and spend our husbands money. You are a strange one that is for sure.
That reply was meant to be totally obnoxious. This thread seemed the place for it. However the last part wasn't. I get sick of thin skinned people who come here and ask how to work from home. Stacy and other's are right, do the research and quit belly aching.

I didn't even read past the second sentence. Are you blind? Do you need reading comprehension help? We ARE SAHMs.

I was just asking if anyone had any experience with anything that they would like to share. I own my own business and do that anyway and I am working on doing more of that so that I am not away from home so much. I know there is no magic wand to make full time money sitting at home with my kids. But I am also not going to sit at home and let my husband do all the work outside of the home. Was simply curious what other moms did? This is why I simply lurk on these boards because people are snarky and rude, simply jumping to conclusions about what people think. Do you need the golden rule handed to you on a silver platter with a pretty bow?
There is not a lot of "sitting at home" in my day... Being a SAHM isn't bon-bons and soap operas. I've chosen not to earn a paycheck, but my day is filled with work.
When you have a colicky newborn who takes an hour to BF, it's almost all bon-bons and soaps. Well, and lots of screaming. Ahhhh, but those days have passed for me. Now I actually have to be productive.

If you own your own business, why are you asking about how to make extra $ as a SAHM? It sounds like you already found a way to do that. If you want a serious answer to your question, be more specific, a la "I own my own business, but it requires a lot of travel, and I want to know if anyone has guidance on how to make adjustments for a growing family."
I don't sit at home and let my husband do all the work outside the home. I'm outside the home a few days a week taking care of things for the family so he doesn't have to worry about them while he's in his cubicle.

My crazy sister runs a medical billing business. I can tell that you don't, and have no idea how it works. With typical volume, there's no way you can randomly input data during a kid's naptime or playtime. Said sister is up at 1am doing work because that's the only time she can devote completely to that instead of chasing her kids around. It's not nearly as easy as it sounds.
This whole conversation got a little bit out of control don't you think ladies? All the snooty comments and such were most def. out of line and completely unnecessary. I mean really, who died and made you all God? It is a damn shame when a woman cannot even come on here and ask a simple question without having to be dished out all this bullshit from "greater than thou" bitches like some of the ones on here. Please, get a life.
THANKS!

And this helps. You must go through a lot of Windex cleaning your glass house.
Spend more time here before insulting the regulars. You'll see how the same.damn.question really grates at one's nerves. 1st tri b*tches about the "Could I be pg?!" posts. 3rd tri b*tches about the "Am I in labor?!" posts. I tend to stay off of Blended families as it can be overwhelming with bio-mom bashing (and in my situation, I am the bio mom). I could go on and on.
Random lurkers coming here to "put us in our place" is pointless. But thanks anyway.

This is the post that keeps on giving.
Serenity, thanks for reeling us all back in. You have made some really great points.
for those who pointed out that you ARE SAHM, i'd like to point out that i provided two possible scenarios in my comment. so apparently im not the one lacking reading comprehension for whoever said that since a couple of people here don't know what the meaning of the word OR is and how its used in a sentence and how it applies in the context of a conversation. with that being said, if you replied with anything less than a polite response-being expected of everyone since we are all adults here-and you ARE a SAHM then you must fit in the latter category of just being plain bitter (and yes, "i'm not bitter, i just hate when so and so happens so much that it brings out the *** in me rather than just bypass the question and go onto another one to maybe provide a useful answer to" does hint that you harbor some resentment and therefore makes you bitter). And if this doesnt apply to you either then you must not have replied with a condescending remark in the first place and therefore take no offense to my impartial comment and congratulations on acting like an adult-ur children depend on it!
and for the person who replied with at least SOME type of relevant information about the original question posed and not just a random opinion that no one really cares about (being totally irrelevent to the question) in regards to how many times the questions been asked before, i never once claimed that i ran a medical billing business (what??) so yeah, cant argue with you there. nor did i ever claim it was easy. in fact i stated that you need to go through some type of school and training, so how did i at all hint at it being easy? i even said coming with creative ideas to work upon your hobbies wouldnt be easy. i passed on the information that i heard from someone else, who i also never claimed actually ran their own business of any kind. being head of a business and working for someone are entirely two different things and my suggestion never implied that she run her own medical business. nonetheless, your answer was one of the more helpful replies to the question, even if it was merely a rebuttal to my comment. you provided a different experience to the experience i provided, albeit under a differnt situation than the one i spoke of, so now she has more info to work on.
for the record, i actually never claimed anything. not that everyone on here wasnt a SAHM, not that everyone one here was bitter, not that medical billing was easy, not that you should run a medical billing business, not that dog-sitting is easy, etc etc etc. no claims. never even said medical billing was the only solution if any. that was an EXAMPLE of a data entry position or something of that nature. i simply provided basic info. and moreover, i provided some type of relevent answer.
coincidentally, i came across an email about medical billing and how you could possibly work from home if you look into it. a list of online colleges came up with course degrees. i also came across in my babytalk magazine yet another ad about medical billing, again claiming how you may possibly work from home. so please, no one can say the advice i offered was far fetched. i do however claim that anyone interested should LOOK INTO IT. not just take my word for it, or anyone else's. you need to do your own research but im sure the questioner had no idea where to even start. and nothing is easy. you will have to work at what you decide to do either through creativity, networking, schooling, some type of training, trial and error. and one persons experience is never the same as anothers. good luck!

Man, that was long
And super hard to read. Proper capitalization can go a looong way in making your very redundant point.
To mama_marmot: Type out your solutions over and over 3-4 times a week. It gets old. That's not being bitter. That's developing carpal tunnel because newbies randomly pop in to ask about easy money. Look around a bit. See what the common questions are that would probably get asked a LOT due to the name of that board. You can find answers to this very question (and how we're trying to pare it down) only a few pages back. That's the rule on any board. See what will fan a fire before you strike the match.
This post has been fun - thanks for the entertainment ladies!! Now I'm off to spend my husband's money while he's busy at work. Must buy more bon bons today...

I had to restock up on chocolate too! Rainy day+wired kids= mom who needed some chocolate!
no, i really don't think capitalization is the problem here. im sure if i were to capitalize everything, you would find another thing to gripe about. especially if you consider my SECOND response redundant.
Im not on here every 5 minutes replying to every comment regarding my first and only original response so by then time i came back offering an update to what i originally had said (since i found those ads), i had seen that at least 4 people had mentioned my comment and the first two paragraphs addressed their misunderstandings. the third clarified my point for those who i gave to much credit to, having thought they could understand simple concepts. and the 4th was about what i was originally going to post that day, having found new info on the matter.
so, again, i'm sorry if you have a diificult time reading such simple material and that the lack of capitalization is something more significant to you than the lack of respect some people displayed when responding. those who didn't exhibit any lack of respect didn't take offense to it. everyone is entitlted to their opinions, but everyone is also entitled to respect and some people fail to see that.
belly aching about how the question is always asked is more redundant than the question itself since that particular person only asked it once and if anything, you've posted more redundancies on the subject than me, seeing as how you complained more than offer advice or simply ignore it altogether if they thought it was sooo old.
i do apologize for how lengthy my responses get. it's just unfortunate that some people just need things to be broken down to their simplest forms because they are too caught up in their own opinions-which were either hypocritical or based on faulty conclusion. like that one person who admitted they didnt take the time to read past the second sentence but took the time to respond with an ignorant comment based on erroneous assumptions without actually hearing out the other argument fully lol!! FAIL
but thanks for the effort you put into reading my long comment and for taking the time to respond. and i agree with everything most people said about defending stay at home moms and i see why they took offense to the questioner's reply. but im sure her intentions weren't to be rude whereas people did intend to be condescending and sarcastic. i don't see why people have soo much up their butts about people wanting "magical solutions" and are super-sensitive about it, it was an honest question she had. life goes on! and in regards to being so pissy about the same old questions, maybe instead of getting on her case, no one should've responded at all and she would've been forced to look for the answer.

yess i thank some of the people on here. their silliness made me laugh. it's a nice break from all the mooching i do allll day long. maybe it'll even burn off some of the calories from my bon bons since sitting in front of my computer repeating my posts 3-4 times a week doesn't seem to be favoring my figure HAHA

yess i thank some of the people on here. their silliness made me laugh. it's a nice break from all the mooching i do allll day long. maybe it'll even burn off some of the calories from my bon bons since sitting in front of my computer repeating my posts 3-4 times a week doesn't seem to be favoring my figure HAHA
