I have a baby when I left home (philippines). I need to choose my job not because i don't love my baby, but because i need to do it for my baby. Sometimes in our life we need to choose and risk. We need sometimes to choose what is better the emotion of being a mother or the responsiblity of a mother.

Now that would be a tough choice to make... have you moved country or just city?

Yes, I leave my baby Monday to Friday because I have to work LOL. I am still here, and I'll be back during lunch and at 5 PM. It breaks my heart already so I cannot imagine leaving my baby abroad. She's my life and without her, I am nothing.

Hello missyjanette.
It is sad that you have to make that choice. I wouldn't attempt to understand the difficulty you're having as I'm sure that it is very hard. I just wish that your job would have some provisions in it that will make you a permanent resident to wherever country your working. And that sooner or later, you'd be able to get your baby so you'd be reunited.

It is very hard, yes. Specially I am not only making money for my career but for the future of the young's life that is connected to my life also... Money is a part to make life but the biggest part of life is the heart of a mother that has been broken because of long distant love..

Hi- I completely understand what you have been going and still are going through. I was in the same situation which is not one you would wish to be in. I never imagined I would be able to leave my baby to my parents while being in another country - but I mainly did for my daughter's future. Luckily this time is over and we are together as a family... and I hope and pray we won't have to do it again. I am pretty sure our children will understand that once they grown up and they will be proud of us!

Hello missjanette good day.. I feel you and I understand your situation. I am also a single mother and I also need to leave my son in the hand of my parents. But now I no longer do that, that was only for a short period. Just think that it will not be forever and someday once you saved for your future you will also come back and do all the responsibility with the emotion of being mother.

I used to have plans to leave the country before but thanks to the online businesses that my entire family is doing right now, I do not have to leave them behind anymore.
