I need some advice.
Today, I received a call from my office manager from Dr. Widick's office.
She called to ask me to come back to work for them. Anyone who knows me, knows that I loved working for Doc Widick. Now I am faced with the decision on whether to help our family financially, or miss out on quality time with Cooper. I love the idea of actually having a "real" job again and being part of a great team. But then it almost breaks my heart to leave Cooper in the care of a daycare worker until August when my grandmother comes back. Then what do I do with him when she has to leave again??
I know it would be good for Cooper to be around other kids his age, but I will miss out on so much. He is learning all kinds of things now and I don't want to be all surprised when he does something new and then find out he has been doing it for a week and that someone else taught it to him.
On the other hand, it would be a huge relief on Tim if we had more money coming in.He works very hard for us and in that sence I feel like such a loser not being able to help out with it.
I am VERY torn and could use some of your thoughts.

The joys of motherhood! Speaking from experience, I would say pass on it since I know that missing out with Isaac is something I will regret until I die! However, there are great people out there willing to watch your child and love them as your own..you just have to find them. Perhaps his office would work with you to give you decent hours so lil Cooper wouldn't be in daycare all day, or perhaps he could hold off until August for you. All I can say is pray about it, money comes and goes but time spent with the babe is limited. Also, you should weigh the cost of childcare with the slary you will make and see if the income is worth leaving him with someone! I feel you pain on this one, momma decisions usually suck!
I think that you should talk the job part time. A happy mom is a happy famliy. Think of this... what is the difference if you miss something....weather it be a daycare person or grandma that dosent matter. and when gma comes back take him there. This way even if all you are paying for now is daycare at least you can feel like you are doing something. and when gma gets back you will be helping out with money.
