Im a PT SAHM, and have gotten the opport. to take on a full time federal job. My ds is just shy of 2 yo. Now this puts me in a pickle with child care. Do I take it even though I'll be giving up my time with him? Confused What would you do. The pay is goos and steady and I'll have a pension. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'm in the same situation as you. I'm very torn and don't want to miss the opportunity but would miss the time with my son terribly. [ Reply | More ]

depends on so many things... do you want to go back? is this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or could you get something like this in a year, when you might be more ready to return to the workforce? do you think your ds will do well in daycare (I think he'll be fine :) but are you comfortable with putting him in full-time care?) What are your daycare options? We have our dc in a great daycare, and that makes it much easier to work. [ Reply | More ]

op: this is a one time opportunity. I'd be foolish not to take it, but it completely changes things. One door opens and your life is differnt now [ Reply | More ]

It's tough! But either choice would be good--your ds might love his child care arrangement and you might love the job. Or you turn down the job and enjoy your time with him. Either way could be good for the family. [ Reply | More ]
