Good Morning - Yesterday, I asked everyone advice on a job offer; I declined the job offer, because they would not work with me.....they actually came around and offered me a modified work schedule. They said I could work M-Thurs (full days) for six months. I said yes, but now I am not so sure I can do it. I hate the thought of leaving my son full time basically anyhow, in day care. Is it wrong to change my mind now? I could stay home for another 1 year if I want to.
I did accept the job, but got a call from a lady that worked in the office (where I would be going to work) and she did not paint a pretty picture...which made my decision even easier to stay home and try to work towards being home with my son for another year. I told them this morning that I had a change of heart. Yeah for me!
I agree with the other post. Follow you heart. You already know your answer, just find it. My mom has great advice for making a decision. She always asks "If you had to give your answer in 5 seconds, what would the answer be?" Good luck!
I don't think it is wrong for you to change your mind. You need to do what is best for you and your family. If you do decide to decline the offer let them know asap that you put more thought into it and it isn't a good fit for you at this time. Good luck with your decision.
I am a mom that works from home and I would definately not go back to work. Your son is 21 months old and it really seems like you don't feel comfortable leaving him. Why don't you try working from home to suppliment income but still have the time with your family. You are free to check out my website and contact me for more info.

Yay for you!! I responded to your other post and I am glad to hear you declined the position. I am so thankful that we are able for me to stay home with my son. The 2 weeks I did work were pure torture for me because all I wanted was to nurture and be a housewife/mommy again. Now, I have been working since 17, on my own at 19 married for almost 3 years and my son is 20 months so I was very independent and worked my whole life. It is such a blessing to be able to stay home and have the life that I do. So, good for you and don't you feel the least bit guilty for telling them you had a change of heart. Jobs will come and go and you will always get another when the time is right!

If you have the ability to stay home another year... i would!! I know many people that wish so badly they could stay home with their children longer. I love having the chance to be home with my kids and i am sad that it is coming to an end. I love the follow your heart post and also the fact that the job will always be there but not your son.
You did the right thing!! As long as you are financially stable and can get away with staying home with the love of your life then do it!! I do and I wouldn't change a thing!!
