Making money as a sahm

I just feel like I’m doing something wrong, the amount of posts I see from friends family influencers you name it someone has a hustle. I don’t even get time to brush my hair let alone start a whole business how do you do it ? 😭 I want to be able to get my children fun things do fun things treat myself to a haircut, I was an artist once upon a childless time, I have 2 degrees and a masters degree and I feel utterly dumb and useless lol 😂 I have a 1 year old and 3 year old, anyone got any good advice? ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t want to compromise my time to make money I want to be a present mum 💜 maybe I’m looking for the impossible ?

I see you! Two days ago I had a severe anxiety attack triggered by seeing everybody and their mommas having a side hustle and being successfull in it, while Im here isolated, taking care of my two kids, the house is messy, I haven't brushed my hair in days, I'm getting fat and have super dark circles under my eyes! I tried to start a candle business( I LOVE doing it), put on social media, and had maybe 2 views. Had to give up because my kids are taking 97% of my time. So I also want to know what am I doing wrong! Horrible that we are in this situation, but good to know Im not the only one!

I started my own business August last year after wanting time with my kids so most of my time that the kids are at school do baby sitting and other services. I guess find what you enjoy and see if you can incorporate it around your time with kids or if you can include your kids in the time making money.

I feel this on a spiritual level

So I started 7 weeks into maternity leave, I partnered with a biz that has consumable products and I could easily integrate into my routine - Haircare and skincare! It helped me take care of myself more, whilst still being present and allowed me to stay on maternity leave longer than I’d planned because of what I was earning. People think you need hours to do it but I literally do it in the pockets of time I have - I now only work 4 days a week and get three days with my little girl. Happy to chat with anyone that wants to know more xx

Why don’t you sell art online or set up a small art based event business like sip and paint once a month . So you can earn money

Most mums in real life do not have a side hussle. Don't get confused by the social media hype.
