To consider Only Fans

Not everyone can get themselves a high paying job?

Only on MN. “Just get a higher paying job!”

Agree. Helping when they can just isn't feasible any more. They need to contribute regularly.

Shoving stuff up my fanny for tuppence would not be my go to idea if I needed to make a few bob.

It's so sad that you think this is a good idea. And a ready made pimp no less. One who you shag on a regular basis too.

There a younger girls out there who show their faces and fannies and shove sex toys up their arse holes and barely make any money.

What makes you think this will bring in the big bucks? Especially when you have to give a percentage to your pimp?

You won’t make anything as a faceless late 30s/40s? mum. Yes there is a market for Milfs, but you will need to show your face and open up to your audience to achieve a following.

Well the OP’s children both already have part time jobs…

This, encouraging them to contribute more is a vastly better option and parenting lesson even at their age than doing only fans rather than reasonably expect them to contribute more.

Working through uni is completely normal.

Honestly, I think she finds it sort of empowering to take the money of men who are happy to pay for smashed up cake.

I am sure you have considered it but what would your employer say if they found out about OF?

Good luck OP

The student maintenance loan doesn't even cover rents these days, and the job market is brutal right now. There are more people looking for casual work than there are jobs. Even the OP can't get an evening job.

Sadly, it can go a lot lower.

Primark tights smelling of minge and bum. There's men out there who will buy them. I'm not even surprised these men exist.

I don't think there's much call for this in the reverse. A pair of Calvin Klein's with a skid mark and sack sweat probably won't generate much interest.

Surely your kids would prefer to each give you £25/ week towards food than to know you were doing only fans to pay for the groceries?! And doing it in their home as well.

Maybe just sit down and have an honest chat with them- work out how much more you need per month to pay the bills, and how (collectively, as a family) you are going to achieve it.

Surely your 2 uni students are paying you house keeping? Or at least paying for food etc?

I guess you really need to be made of strong stuff to endure it all 😵‍💫.

These are great ideas. Cleaning and babysitting are so much better than OF!

I doubt you’d make much money from this either. First where do you sell these things and second I think there’s a limit to the number of perverts willing to pay money for these things. It’s a myth that you can get rich from selling your underwear.

Being I. College meant he was likely under 18, and it's pain in the arse employing 16 and 17 year olds. Especially in service.

They can't sell alcohol. There's some tasks they aren't allowed to do, they're subject to different break rules, often aren't allowed to be unsupervised etc

First of all I'm sorry your in this situation op. You sound like an amazing person And mom.

Is it really not possible for your kids to contribute food costs if they're working? Could they get private loans so that they could contribute more? Or even take a year out of school to work full time and save? I don't know anything about only fans.

They need to pay for their own food. No ifs or buts. They have the minimum student loan but no rent and a part time job. They need to pay you £30 a week for food each. Then things would hopefully be easier.

Ok. Go and get a higher paying job yourself. Go on, do it today. Start that process, and when in a month or so, when you have a higher paying job in a different sector... tell us how you did it.

We'll wait. Then we'll copy what you did.

I‘d stay away from Only Fans.

As your biggest outgoing after rent is food: if someone in the family could pick up some regular shifts at a supermarket, they may well get a staff discount card. ASDA certainly used to give you and a family member 10%, I imagine others are similar. As my student job there gave me access to yellow-stickered items and I had a freezer, my/our food bill went right down.

Have you also tried apps like Good to Go/ Olio or a community pantry?

OMG gross. How low can you go!

Could you or one of the kids do 1-2 night shifts a week stacking shelves in a supermarket? I know it would be exhausting but surely better than only fans.

Yes as others have suggested, instead of only fans, why not start smaller with selling tights/socks/whatever anonymously to the foot fetishists. You wouldn't need a pimp, it would be much less risky, and you'd have a chance to see if you're any good at making money and also how it feels. And, if you make enough money it could be problem solved without even needing to consider only fans.

I'd still have reservations about this tbh but at least it is a much less risky step. You also can't get into any trouble professionally for selling your tights!

My thoughts are along the same lines as yours @Daaaaahling the FWB gains a significant amount more power over the OP that I think she realises. How does she know he won't squirrel away a load of extra images and flog them to his mates down the pub (figuratively speaking, or actually).

A dreadful plan unfortunately, there have to be better ways of raising extra income!
