So my wife and I are having a baby. She'd like to stay at home the first year or so. We can't comfortably live off of my paycheck alone. Anybody know of any successful work at home jobs?

My wife works from home, but her job isn't any less demanding of her time, so we still need in-home help.

mimio as a point , if she wants to earn money she won't necessary have more time to share even if she stays at home.

Cold calling for sales or marketing. Sucks, but there are a lot of home based gigs.

Not to be presumptious, but have you taken a real hard look at the expenses you can eliminate or things you can downsize?
I only ask because I'm in the exact same boat, and we had to make some major changes in our life. This included relocating, and we'll be dumping a car as well.

put in a back entrance and let strangers in your back door for money.
*cough*- If I follow that metaphor correctly, it implies that neither of them currently have a functioning asshole. That's weird.harlequino

You my friend are probably going to have to get a second job, or maybe she could collect unemployment? At least for six months.

receptionist? I take it she can type well and fast?
should be loads of agency work typing up transcripts, particularly from taped dictation/conversation. A clerical admin agency will be able to get her that kind of work and she could end up getting a pretty decent hourly rate for it.
bish bash bosh, nailed. next.

is paid maternity leave a canadian thing? she's not going to have time or energy to work with a newborn. those first 6-12 months are essential momma and baby time... going back to work shouldn't be an option.
hate to be a bummer in these exciting times for you, but kids are hella expensive... it only increases as they get older.
