My son is 3-1/2 months old. He means the world to me. We were advised by doctors (both CF and his pediatrician) NOT to put him in day care. Because of that, I have not been able to go back to work. I am perfectly fine with being a SAHM, for the exception of the fiancial aspect of it.
My sons father does not make a lot of money. He is doing what he can and putting in OT when it is available, but we are still strapped financially. My car was repossessed on Thursday, which has really put me in a depression even more than I was already feeling from PPD and all. The only thing I feel that makes me smile ever, is my son anymore.
So, basically, I am just wondering what other parents in my situation have done for extra income? How you've gone about it. We're REALLY in a bad spot, both of us have bad credit (me even more so now!) and SSI said it could take 120 more days for our appeal (first request was denied) to be approved or denied, so I am not really counting on that to be approved anytime soon.
On top of all of everything else happening, my son started having a bad/frequent cough the very same day my car was repossessed, which never was a problem before... so we had to increase his CPT to every 4 hours, minimum of 3x a day. My son HATES taking his nebulizer, he protests and cries, so I have to wait until he's asleep, and he only takes ONE nap a day now... so its kinda adding even more stress to my being!
UGh, any financial suggestions would really help!!
I was suggested TANF, but that isnt available for me, apparently.
