I am stuck in a catch-22 dilemma.
I started Turking just to earn a little extra money while I stayed home with the kids. Now I really enjoy Turking.
I had my Mother-in-law visiting last week and she helped a lot with the kids. I was able to Turk full time and was doing $80-$120 a day.
Now I am home alone with the kids and Turking is so hard with an almost 1 year old who needs almost constant attention.
I am back to my $40- $60 a day.
Should I pay to put my kid in daycare and Turk full time? Would the money even be worth it. Daycare is so expensive. Or should I just be happy with my $40 days?
Personally, I'd stay home with the kid and make less. Very soon the baby will need less and less attention, and your earnings will go up. (Now that my son is 12 and rarely needs me, I am very much missing the days when he needed me and I was his moon and sun. Now I'm his means for food and shelter, lol!)
Or, you could do part time day care? Just a couple of days a week?
