Advice

lakewoodchick

So the world have blogging has welcomed me thank you. I have a very hard decision to make before sukkos I was approched by my boss and made an offer of more money for more time put in by work and if I could not give more time I do not have a job. Even though I have done so much for the company but that is besides the point. So made an offer of the hours I could give and it was rejected. He still wants more. But the thing is that I am a mommy of an adorable little boy adn I feel if I give anymore I wont be to much of a mommy and everytime I think about I could cry. I feel bad because I am so upset and that make my husbamd upset and he tells me everything is going ot be fine but I just want to yell. Any advice

That is very hard. It is a matter if you could make do without the extra money so you could spend more time with the kiddies. Hard call!

Welcome!

Whatever you choose to do dont ever feel guilty cause you know in your heart that you're trying your best...

I know what you mean I worked hard for a boss since I graduated until I gave birth after that I own my own business & hours just because I couldnt think of anyone else taking my beautiful daughter off of the bus but me...

Like social said depends on the money...Follow your heart chick guilt wont take you anywhere...

Sorry not that good of advice!

MM very hard decision to make.

You can never get the time with your child back.
You can always get a job with 'more hours required'.

I suppose it partly depends on if you can afford not to work.

Maybe you could approach your boss with the idea of 'Job Sharing' even better, find a friend who is qualified to share the job and recommend them, as you put this idea to your boss.

I know I would feel terrible but you have to do what you have to do. If you really want to be home and can manage then great. I was never home for my daughter since her birth. I was in grad school and then working full time. Always had to be away. At least my mom was the babysitter:) Good luck.

Sometimes we find ourselves really loyal to the wrong things. But only you know what the wrong thing could be. Have faith you'll make the right descision.
