Charlie’s milk, Benjamin ‘s school fees, I got fired! You know those stressful issues. How do you deal with financials issues as a broke parent?

1. Offer babysitting services

You are experienced with your children why not babysit other kids and earn a few notes? And believe me, if parents are happy so will you earn more.

2.Offer parenting consultancy

How did you transit from working into becoming a mom? how did you take care of Benjamin’s wellbeing when you were having Charlie?How did you balance time for yourself, work, kids and family or your spouse? you get the gist i see and in a social media era like this YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA BRAND WOULD TAKE YOU PLACES.

3.Stick to doing things on your own

Your finances are tight, so having a maid and babysitter could be cleared off until you are able to fully balance. The gardener as well and what about your eating out habits here’s the trick instead of going out to eat thrice a week. Reduce to once and plus you can control your kid’s nutrition with home cooked food and doing so empowers to learn new cooking/ baking methods.

4.A part time side hustle.

freelancing, blogging,selling craft, online tutoring or even virtual assistance services.So for this one, go do your research!

Now i have done enough spoon feeding grab the spoon and take charge of your brokeness with creativity!

Happy parenting
