Recently I attended an interview, and was selected. But after joining, I came to know that I cannot go home on time and the job is highly demanding. But the person to whom I have to report says that when I am to have a career, I need to do some sacrifices. I have two small kids and there is no one to take care. What is your opinion on this? Do you think that I should have taken up the job or am I right in not taking up the offer?

If you have no one to watch them then it's best you find something more accomodating. That is the problem with my job we have no child care so I work on my husbands days off. Which doesn't leave us alot of quality time togeather on days off, but we don't have the funds to go anywhere or do anything. Plus I'm only gone a few hours typically so I still get to cook and be with everyone.

You know what I did? I took up a work from home offer and I am at home for my kids whenever they want. Now I appreciate myself for the decision I have taken. And here I am at their service.
