I've been offered a job at a local Maternity store that specializes in all things natural for baby and mom. It is just a Saturday shift that is 3 hrs in length so Jason could watch the kiddies.
I applied for this position just before Jackson was born and now I'm having doubts whether I should take it or not. I love spending time with the kids yet it would be nice to get away. I guess my biggest concern is that it's on Saturday - the one day of the week that we could actually go someplace as a family and spend time together.
What do you think? Should I take it? I put a survey up but feel free to explain your response in the comments here. It would be nice to have some additional input before I make my decision.
**UPDATE** I decided to not take it. I need and want to be with my kids and spend time with my family. This is where I need to be at this stage in our lives.
I have thought of taking a job before. I had been offered one at the gym where I go. The kids could go with me. That was the perk. But when it came down too it I realized that I love my freedom WAY too much. As nice as it would of been getting some extra cash, it just was not worth it to me. I like being able to wake up and go and do things without a moments notice and not have to call into work. I don't know really how you feel, but me....no way. You would dread having to leave the one day you get to spend with family and go do things. Saturday is not a working day. But.....I don't know. I would have to say NO!! Your time away needs to be spent with Jason on a date. Not working.
ReplyDeleteI had the opportunity to sub for my mentor teacher from tahnksgiving to Christmas. I was tinking this will be a great way to earn extra cash for Christmas. But after the RS broadcast I felt really strongly that I was a mother and I needed to be with my kids. you may feel different but the thing that also helped me know it was not the right decision was that I was so wishy washy about it. one day I wanted to do it, the next day I wouldn't. I felt guilty about leaving the kids. etc. Pray and ask. each person is different.
ReplyDeleteI think you made the right decision Amber. Family is all that matters...a family is so precious. Savour every moment of it. Judy
