@startoverstrategy: I heard about a single mom who had been fired from three different jobs because she repeatedly had to leave work to take care of her children. And unfortunately, this isn’t unusual. Sometimes women have children who need them. Sometimes they are caring for a child with special needs. Sometimes they’re dealing with their own limitations. Sometimes they’re navigating an ex who creates constant emergencies. Sometimes they’re in and out of court or dealing with the demands of a custody case. Whatever the reason, the reality is the same: Traditional employment often doesn’t leave much room for a complicated life. And when you don’t have flexibility, every unexpected problem can threaten your income. That’s one reason I’m so passionate about service-based businesses for divorced women who are rebuilding their financial lives. You can create something around the life you actually have. Maybe you work three days a week. Maybe you only take clients during school hours. Maybe you work every other week when your children are with their other parent. Maybe you build several small income streams around your schedule. You don’t have to ask a boss for permission every time your life happens. A service-based business isn’t the answer for everyone. But for some women, giving yourself a job may be the first time you’ve had the ability to make an income without having to pretend your life is simpler than it actually is. #StartOverStrategy #DivorcedFormerTradwife #ServiceBasedBusiness #SingleMoms #WomenBuildingBusinesses

My ex husband never spent one moment of his life stressing about what to do with the children while he worked. Never got a phone call to pick them up from school when they were sick. Not one moment.

That’s what I’m doing. I clean short term rentals and a small retail space. As long as the stuff is done within the timeframe, they don’t care when I get it done. So if I had a sick little kid, I can stay home all day, then go work once another adult is available to take over. My husband just had back surgery, so a couple days a week, I go work after lunch time so I can take him to physical therapy in the morning. When the teenagers want money, I can bring them with me and let them work to earn it. I bring the laundry home often so I can get that work done at home while I’m cooking dinner or helping with homework. I don’t make as much as I want yet, but it’s enough to feed and clothe us, buy school supplies and cleats and $20 school carnival wristbands, etc while my husband’s job pays the bills. It’s tough doing it this way, I feel like I NEVER have free time because it’s all planned around making everything work, but it does allow me to still be there for everyone, do every pickup and drop off and sports meeting/practice/game, and still have enough money to survive.

Also - the higher up you go the more flexibility you have ironically. The low level hourly employees have no flexibility but the salary management gets more leeway. This is why it’s so important to provide opportunities for women and for women to establish their careers before children

When I was in this position, I started an in-home daycare. Killed two birds with one stone. I was able to be home with my child and make a decent income. It was a ton of work, I was open seven days a week and laid into the evening so that I could offer a service but didn't have a lot of competition. It worked, though, I always had a waitlist of families wanting a space.
