OH lost his job last year and has been temping in office jobs since. He has been in the same temp job since Easter but it is still week to week so it's anything but secure. I am on mat leave from my job which is relatively well paid and secure for another year and a half until contract runs out however I HATE it, and I have been getting impression that my boss is trying to sneakily persuade me into not going back (long story, too long to go into here). I have been retraining in complementary therapies and will be qualified in April and ready to go.
My mat pay runs out around April, and I had planned to go back to my job part time, it would be a struggle but I could just about manage it, and I figured even though I hate it part time might not be as bad. However today I looked up costs of nurseries and there is no way it'd be worth my while working part time with the costs of child care for even 2 and a half days. OH not working and me returning to my job full time seems the most sensible option but there is no way I could go back there even though I am desperate. Before finishing I was so depressed there and have been a different person (so OH and my friends and parents say) since I haven't been working.
I have been researching work from home jobs but there doesn't seem to be a lot out of opportunities out there. I know I have my complementary therapies I could do at home in evenings and at weekends when OH is around to look after LO but it is no guarantee of steady clients while still starting out, and I am starting to panic as don't know what to do.
Does anyone know of anyone who runs a complementary therapy business from home successfully? Or can suggest anything?
