My life. I haven't even accepted it yet and now the dilemma seems to always leave me blank. I could not concentrate on my kids. I need to solve this so i can live normally again and get used to whatever choice i have made. Five years off the working world and into full time motherhood, now i will go back again? Can i? Should I? Will a thousand dollars pay for my 9 hours away daily from my kids? And 300 dollars for a nanny i am not sure i can really trust? That leaves me about 500 dollars net...so can it pay? I am still considering this prospect. There is much "getting used to do" if ever i accept this offer....separation anxiety, missing my boys, worrying about them...re-learning the ways of the working world. I pray and wait, and perhaps for some pieces of minds from people here in MyLot.

Hi pinky
I know what you mean. I have seen my sister spending years o this. It's tough and I feel you are the best judge. You have to figure out how and what will you manage and how. You can start on a temporary job for a month or so and try to find if it would work or not. The you can decide on long term. I feel, its not the problem with the kids. With the initial hitch they adopt themselves. Trust me, they are very good at it. Now, coming to you, Do not ever think tat you are doing something wrong. There should be no guilt. Just start doing it and you ca always stop if and when it seems impossible.
Good luck and keep me informed. You take care, hon
