If you discussed it with your husband and son and they are fine with it and are ready to support you, then there's not reason not to!! Don't let your fears hold you back! Is 2 months a long time to be away from your husband and son? Yes. But in the scheme of things, 2 months is the blink of an eye...a nd like you said then you will be set for life, career-wise! I think you'd be crazy if you didn't!! Be glad that you have a family that is willing to sacrifice their needs to help you further yours... a lot of people would be too selfish to support their partner in this way! GO FOR IT!

Actually, I just finished going through something very similar. I took a job 2 hours away from our home. When I left last year, my oldest was still 2 years old and my youngest was 2 months old. Because of the distance, I had to rent a room up here, as a 4-hour round-trip commute would have been impossible. I would leave early Monday morning, drive up to work, work extra hours every day so I could leave early on Friday afternoon and come home.
Let me tell you up front...THIS IS VERY TAXING ON A RELATIONSHIP. It will bend it to the limits and it must be VERY strong for it not to snap. We pulled through it and they finally moved up here with me this past February.
Your situation would be much different, as you have a much older child. 2 Months away from home during the week will be easy by comparison to my 9-month ordeal.
I say go for it, with no questions!! Missing your family actually makes your bonds grow stronger.
Good luck! =-]

A lot of things that seem ‘too good to be true’ are that way, because they aren’t true!
Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into OK…
Don’t allow yourself to be conned.
Check out the employer’s credentials and worker history…
Make sure they don’t put people on a ‘low pay training wage’ then just dump them once the training is near completion.
You’d be surprised how many businesses attract staff with promises of ‘awesome income and amazing benefits’ where they hire staff on sh*t training wages then dump them once the training period has completed. They do it so they never have to pay full wages.
If you are sure the offer is genuine, and it is what you really want to do, and your family is fully supportive of you… then go for it !
You’ll kick yourself if you don’t !!!
I sincerely hope it goes well for you !!!

choose for it...in the long-term you're able to think of roughly issues that are right for you too. the reason you have misgivings is guilt, and the guilt isn't out of your husband and baby. sounds like others are making you experience undesirable approximately it. So do no longer difficulty approximately that - You son will sometime be out on his own and you have given time to him jointly as they have been transforming into up. So...YOU DO what you desire to do and be happy for the prospect, it may no longer ensue back. superb of success. (with the conveniences of laptop and telephones, cellular telephones) this is going to likely be such as you're homestead. it is unlike you're working away for ever.

Go for it. Talk to your son and husband every day at least once if not twice. This is for your future. I would go for it.

What do you have to loose? I mean it is only two months. Sure it would be hard, but suck it up and go. You can't miss out on this opportunity.

I say GO-FOR-IT-GIRL, I'm sure it will be all worth it in the end. We all have to sacrifice things once in awhile.
