When I had my daughter, there was no question. I couldn’t imagine leaving her all day. I quit my job in an instant. Now, 4 years later, I still feel the same way, but there are other factors that have me here today.
We recently moved to San Antonio. So, now we have a mortgage to pay as well as rent. Things are more expensive here than what they were in Orlando. We have a nest egg that is going to slowly dwindle away to nothing if we don’t do something. And, there is a job opening up at the company Jeremy works for that would be perfect for me.
Maxwell is only 1 year old. The thought of putting him in day care tears me apart. I would probably cry for the first month at the office. Jade is 4 and starting full-time preschool in the fall. She is having such a hard time to adjusting to everything already, that me leaving all day would be very hard on her too.
I know we could make it work. I know I would get through it. I know the kids would adapt. They are strong. And, we would be making enough money to be able to focus on family time on the weekends. I’d greatly appreciate any thoughts from my readers. What would you do? What do you suggest I do?
