The job you were offered sounds wonderful CP, right down your alley. Money is important, but how wonderful to have a job that pays a little less but that fulfills your soul. How long before you must give them a reply?
Would this new job cover any day care costs? I know that can be pretty expensive too. Maybe you could brainstorm on ways to save money so that you can take the job you love! It will be more money than if you stay home as a stay at home mom anyway. Good luck my dear! Sorry you're going thru this.
Aw, thanks Rosa Linda I was really hoping someone would tell me to go for the new job..hehehe . There are actually a lot of advantages to taking the new job. It would allow me to walk my 3 young children to school every day. And also, I would be able to stay at home with my 4 year old son, as he only goes to school every other day. (which also means I would not have to pay for child-care). And I think that I would really enjoy the job. They are contacting me in a few days for an interview.
I think a good plan would be for me to go to the interview and if it turned out that I didn't get this job, I could go back to my old job.
