[quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? Do you have any free time at all? I have had a good experience by picking up freelance and contract work here and there. It really helps me to use my brain for something other than kid/household stuff. It’s also helping me gain a foothold I can use to find work post-Covid. I also recommend setting your rate high if you do this. You get less work, but what you do get feels more worthwhile. I know it’s hard. I was an accidental SAHM too and it’s very discouraging. You go from working to being in full on mom mode all the time and it’s easy to feel like you’re too far out of the game. But it won’t take much to change that, I promise. My first contract work was some incredibly low paid, miserable online editing work. It sucked, but it reminded me that I am capable. I just had to build from there.[/quote]
