Have you thought of getting a job in the evenings? I can't really think of much you could do from home unless you set up your own business. In about 6 months I'm going to get an evening job, not sure what yet though! Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Sometimes you can get jobs dropping off leaflets, which I guess you cuold do with baby in pushchair or a sling?

i wouldnt think about getting a job just now while your lo is only 2 weeks old hun, but is your oh not able to work more so instead of claiming jobseekers you would be able to get tax credits to bump up his earnings?

Why can't your OH get a job hun ?? Anything must be better than JS allowance

Dont really know what else to say, as not much you can do unless you go to work full time and OH stays at home x

Call me old fashioned but it should be OH willing to do anything to keep you and LO....Seems like your the one with all the worries, not good for a new mummy hun x

he has a weekend job and is looking im looking into something to do from home so i can help as the last 9 months have been realy hard lol

 

[sparkle_1979]

a weekend job wont give you the money you need to survive though hun, do you mind if I ask why he doesn't have a full time job? Is he actively seeking work?

 

[happygirl666]

yer but it int going to well tbh lol he is trying tho we both are

You have just given birth, you have enough to deal with right now without even considering looking for work . I don't want to sound harsh but I think this responsibility should rest with your boyfriend and maybe in a few months you would able to get a job to help out.
