Nope, you're a mother now. That flappy skin comes with the territory. Perhaps you could find a different night job that would enable you to, umm, cover the problem a bit better? Waitress perhaps? You are obviously a people person so you could make good tip money. Plus your daughter could visit you at work.

Hi, A.:

My suggestion is to change professions while you are young enough
to make the switch.
Good luck. Thanks for asking. D.

Oh you know you are gonna get some nasty responses right? LOL! Have you tried doing some body wraps? The older we get the more collagen we lose but sometimes after child birth no matter what you do....wraps, situps, crunches, etc the only sure way to rid of the issue is through plastic surgery if you are willing. I am not willing. My mother had one done and ended up with an absess and all sorts of other issues and ended up having to be sliced and diced back open again. I swore I would never ever do it no matter how unhappy I was with my body. I birthed twin babies and I just see it as my battle scars ;())
I myself have gone for some body wraps here recently and I have been pleased with the results but I also changed my diet and increased my activity level as well so I have kept the results so far. The first wrap I ended up losing 8 inches. I go for my last one this thursday and I am very interested to see how many inches total I have lost because they don't measure you again until the last one if you buy the series. I have been pleased with the results thus far and you never know it might help you in your case. I bought 6 wraps for $299.00 or they also have SA body sculpt which is basically liposuction but not like the "old" school way but there are still risk involved so that is why I opted for the body wraps to see where it takes me. I just needed a jump start to get me motivated.

You could try using something like Spanx every day. Just moisturize and then wear some girdle-like thing to teach your skin to stay put. Supposedly it helps. This as far as I know is the only thing that MIGHT work. Good luck

Use a girdle, moisturize and a whole lot of sit ups and abs, you can find good routines in youtube that maybe you could apply your own routine.
I did all of that and still have a little bit of something, so good luck!.
