Ok, so i just started this job at this office supply store and i really do like it. and they must like me cause being there for only three weeks they gave me a quarter raise and promoted me too. then i talked to the store manager about how i was doing and he said that he is considering me for a supervisor position that would be started in another month or so. that is another whole dollar raise. and benefits!!
But one of my really good friends that lives in another state kinda far away asked me to move in with her and be her nanny so she can go back to work. they want to give me 700 dollars a week and i can be with my two boys 24/7!!!
I dont know what to do!!!! What is your opinion?

It sounds like the idea of being home with your boys is more exciting to you than your current job. I was fortunate enough to be able to be a stay at home mom. When they all left home I couildn't stand it so I got a job. A few years later my daughter had to go back to work and I jumped at the chance to take care of my 2 little grandsons. I quit my job that paid really well and lost all those wonderful benefits. Now she's able to stay at home with them again and I'm out looking for another job. I don't regret quitting that job one bit. I'll find another job and the memories and the bonds created in those 3 years are something I will cherish and carry with me for the rest of my life. I wouldn't trade a minute of it.

wow! I see what you mean, 700 a week and still being with your kids?!!! what a dream come true...
you may need to ask your self a few questions here. Or maybe go and visit first to see how you like it there first... and if being the nanny requires a 24/7 also, if you want to leave the familiar...how your boys will feel about the move...a back up plan in case things don't go accordingly as planned...view all of your options.

WELL sometimes you can say that being at home 24/7 when you are out working sound exciting, but it all depends on the kind of person you are in/out person?
The job that pays you more is the one that you are wanting to go for more money, (not so much because of your kids. So stop and think that maybe being greedy isn't going to get you anywhere.
Go to the job that you enjoy as a person not so much cause of the money.

it sounds like you are really excited about "the nanny" job. Maybe you should weigh your options, If you leave this job to move to another state and things dont work out like you planned then you missed out on a chance to be a supervisor in a month or so.On the other hand, you mentioned that you get to spend more time with your boys.......thats a really tough decision sweetie, but good luck with that.Sorry i couldnt help.

I think you should do anything to be with your children while they are growing up. One day they will be grown and maybe you might have missed alot of it because you were working. Once your kids get older, go to work then and I am sure good jobs will be out there for you.

You should go move out by your friend and be the nanny that is a lot of money and u will get to see your friend more often.

I'd go be with your boys 24/7.
Jobs come and go.
Family first.
If your that good on your job...see if they will give you a recommendation on paper. Tell them your dillema. You might come out ahead on both fronts.

well you need to think what will benifit you and your boys in the long run.if you stay with your friend your going to have to stay with her untill you get enough money saved to get a place of your own.then you have to think if she is married it will eventually get in the way of privacy for them.and so on.
