Totally lost here...Help?

Question

I was doing some soul searching and it didnt work. I love children, especially babies. I want to be a mother, but dont really have the finances for it. I have been looking for a job, and I had a few over the years, but none of them lasted long. I am very good at art, writing, computers, and some other things. I used to have a real love for drawing, but its not there anymore. I dont really have a strong love for anything. I do have a strong feeling to be a mother and house wife. Maybe I'm just losing my mind. Does anyone have any advice?

Answer 1

It takes a good steady job or a big bank account to have a child. You want to provide the best so don't get the kid and then deal with how you are going to take care of it. Get stable first and then get your child. You will be miserable if you have a child and then have to struggle every day with the finances and basic needs.

Maybe you get a job in a daycare place. Maybe you work that into running your own daycare business.

Maybe you become the best nanny a family ever had and you end up living in the rich persons guest house.

Mind open - eyes open - hands ready - life ready for change

If you don't have a job your job is looking for a job and many times you have to work harder on the job search than you have to work on the job. But what ever you are working on work hard, work consistantly, and work with your heart in it.

If I'm a janitor, I'm the best janitor you ever saw. That's the person that ends up running the business and maybe even becomes the owner. When you do the best with what you have you often find that you end up with more than ever.

Answer 2

First, being a mother requires responsibility. You have to remember that you need love AND money to raise a child! Children are expensive and there's no way around that. Concentrate on the STEADY job that you can turn into a CAREER or find a rich husband; then you can proceed with becoming a mother!

Answer 3

you can get paid to be a foster parent

Answer 4

You need to do what is best for yourself first.  You have to be self-sufficient before you can take on having a child.  You might try working at a daycare or even volunteering with a children's center or a pediatric hospital ward.  If you like computers you might try data entry or something like that.  Check with the work centers in your area and see what they have that you would excel at.  Temp agencies can help place you as well in a position that might be good for you.  Good luck.

Answer 5

to be honest with you, unless you make good money, you are NEVER financially ready to have children.  I was 27 when i had my son, i wanted a child more than anything and I knew it was going to be expensive and it would be paycheck to paycheck.  But I didnt want to look back and regret never being a mom.  Where there is a will there is a way.  I now have 5 children, times can be tough, I work partime and my husband works full time.  We never take family vacations because of cost, but we got what we wanted, a family.

Answer 6

well a job isnt always somthing u love to do but if you could find somthing with those things thats great u could maybe build comp. if u can or fix and repair them theres a lot of things ta do you just have to really search for it

Answer 7

You sound like a very caring giving individual and short of marrying someone rich (everyone wishes for this) you are going to have to work. Even married couples need two incomes to be comfortable these days. You would suit working in a hospital environment, starting in any capacity you can, whether it be support services, housekeeping, being a porter or possibly in admitting or health records if you have your high school diploma.  I find caring individuals do well in this type of career. If you can go back to school get your Medical Office Assistant certificate. Good luck in what ever you do!

Answer 8

wait till your financially capable of it'll get you down in the future when you cant provide certain things for your child.  i.e the new game console or braded clothes x
