But someone said, try it and if you don't like it, you can always change your mind. Starting a fulltime job doesn't lock you into it forever. On the other hand, you might just love it. And there are LOTS of little people in the world growing up in daycares and day homes. It's not like you're abandoning the little gal! Follow your heart, sweet cheeks.

Then you would still have enough time for your home and Liv. She is still so small and you should really think about her!<BR/>I worked part time (7 - 11:30) for all the years that my kids were home. Then when they left the nest I did full time for 2 years and I couldn´t handle it. I need time for friends or for just being home baking. So now I´m working Monday/Wednesday/Friday full time and Tuesday and Thursday I have the afternoon´s off. It will probably be hard finding something that is ideal, but if you look for a a job with flexible hours that would probably be best.<BR/>In the end, the decision is yours and you have to decide what´s right for your family!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302111888634922172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23392416.post-54612993440394451412009-03-03T08:14:00.000-07:002009-03-03T08:14:00.000-07:00Maybe you should just do internet porn with me.

I have been a stay-at-home Mom and I have been a working-outside-the-home Mom...there are challenges to both!<BR/>When I am trying to make a decision about something...I live for an hour with my choice and write down my feelings...next hour I live with the other choice and write down my feelings! I read both and see what makes the most sense!Ronda's Rantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847830394540205074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23392416.post-77841371634234456152009-03-02T21:20:00.000-07:002009-03-02T21:20:00.000-07:00I cannot say because other than for a year of my l...I cannot say because other than for a year of my life I have never been a stay at home Mom. I have always worked outside the home. And I only ever had two kids to worry about (an adopted son that came in his early teenage years - long story). The childcare issues were always the worst thing when my daughter was small but I dont recall too much now looking back. I think I blocked it out. Once they are at school its easier. And teenagers are teenagers whether you are home or not.<BR/><BR/>I think your two oldest are at a good age and they would be able to help out (yes). Is there a possibility of permanent part-time like 3 days a week or 4 days a week?<BR/><BR/>I could understand why you must feel nervous but you are very smart and quick. I think you could do anything you want to. It would also be good for your girls to see you in a different light but it would have to be a big family meeting time if it was going to happen because you would need everyone's support.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you are going through lots of changes at the moment and its all positive. Besides if you try it and it doesnt work out there is no harm done. But if you don't try it you may always be left wondering....Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.com
