Working Moms Taking Charge From Home

By Elizabeth Clark


It's time for stay-at-home moms to think outside the bun. You see, middle income mothers at least have something to start with. But low income moms have a disadvantage far greater.

We must understand that it's not always the mom's fault for needing government assistance. And struggling from day to day to overcome her depressing situation.

Dysfunctional and abusive family situations face the low income mom everyday. And many unplanned pregnancies are the result.

Out of more than 2 pregnancies, 1 is unplanned or unwanted. These problems are more severe in higher dysfunctional families.

All of a sudden this mother to be is under severe pressure to provide for her new child. So what is mom to do? Having very little education and limited resources. Mom has little or no help.

Mothers are working more and more hours to meet the rising child care costs. Struggling to become debt-free, and drive decent transportation. Yet mom's small income is not enough. Her children are effected by her stressful situation.

Depressed and emotionally drained most mothers can't give quality attention to their children. This can greatly affect the behavior of her child. Lack of confidence and the desire to excel in school can be the result.

Her children greatly want and need her attention and affection. Because of moms excessive work schedule depriving her children of her quality time and attention. The result is negative behavior from her children.

Mom wants to focus her energy and time on her child. But is usually wore out by night time do too long work hours.

The sad part is, mothers who work a regular job heard about 15 to 20% LESS than single women. The stressful life of a working mom contributes to poor eating habits.

And even worse, the mother whose income is above the earned income level, receives NO assistance. Meaning taxes for the middle income mother can take a big portion of her earnings.

The mother in the middle income bracket works much harder with no support or assistance. This increases stress and is not good for moms health. There's mom have any time to enjoy her life?

After working all day, sore feet, taking abuse from her boss all day. Listening to gossip from coworkers, then dealing with rush hour traffic.

Now after picking up her child from daycare who is hyperactive; totally in need of her undivided attention. Mom's cell phone is ringing with additional demands from family and friends. While mom is exhausted, yet trying to hide her pain from her child.

This kind of pressure was never meant to be placed on the human body. So is there a easier way? Yes! A home business involving affiliate marketing. Your start up costs is FREE.

Your affiliate home business can be run from a public Library. There are affiliate marketing books online to walk you through the process. And the tax savings are awesome.

For more information, do a Google or Yahoo online search for affiliate marketing. There are thousands of affiliate products you can sale. Make a sacrifice and do the research.

Ask questions, do a little reading about the thousands of affiliate products you could sale. Work with someone you feel comfortable with. You could use your lunch break to do this research.

The sacrifice of time and effort will truly outweigh the stress of working for your boss. Do it for your child, do it for yourself. Take action like Nike, just do it.

Working from home is a freedom and peace of mind that is better felt then explained. I could try to explain what a hot fudge brownie taste like. But until you taste it, you will never truly know.
