I may be offered a job in another country. However this may means that I will have to leave my 1 year old behind.Part of me is willing to go and give it a shot since im still young (26) and it may boost my career.
I dont know if I should accept this offer should it come along?
If it were you, would you go?

why would you have ja baby then leave it to be raised by someone else while you are overseas because you think it will better your career. Right now your career is the baby! That should be the most important thing to you. What if something happened (god forbid) and you were stuck thousands of miles and sometimes more than a day to get back you would never forgive your self.

NO! I would take my baby with me.... You can never get back those years you'll miss of the great amount of development that your child will endure while you are gone. But you can always forward your career. The first three years of a baby's life are the most important, they are like sponges and there brain collects all kind of information during this time. U need to be there for your child, you wouldn't want your child developing in someone elses hands.

I couldnt do it. Im not willing to miss out on all the things she'd learn to do while I was gone. Why cant you take your child? I assume you are a single mom?
Noone can make this decision for you. You have to decide what would be best for you and your child. How long would you be gone? When would you and your child be back together? How would this job benefit the future for your child? How would this job hurt or help your future relationship with this child?
How do you think your heart would feel if you had to leave your child?
Good luck and whatever you do make sure you've thought it out well before you make a decision.

No way. I would take the job only if I could take my son with me. Kids grow up so fast, I wouldn't want to miss a single day in his life (figure of speech, doesn't mean I wouldn't work during the day and come home in the evening, or send him to his grandparents for 1-2 weeks in the summer so my husband and I can have a vacation of our own)

Hell no, I wouldn't go! As a parent u have a responsibility to take care of ur child no matter what. U cannot live in a seperate country as him/her. That would be completely unfair to the child, and I think you'd regret it once u left. I can't be sure of ur circumstances,but who would look after the child? If u do decide to take the job overseas u should bring the baby with u. Find a way to make it work.

I am 26 years old myself. I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. However before my daughter was born, my husband was injured badly at work, needless to say, I had to return to work when she was 6 weeks, and my husband has been home with her since, since he still is unable to work. I would give anything to trade places with my husband and stay home with my baby.
Since I hate the thought of even going to work everyday in a local area, I don't think I would even have a thought about taking another job in another country, unless my whole family (husband and daughter) could go with me. If the job was offered to me, that would be my first question...If they couldn't go...then no I couldn't go either..sorry. My family means to much to me to leave them behind. Best of luck to you!

Absolutely not! I would never leave my child behind. Why can't you take the child with you? I know that if I were to put myself in place of the child I would feel like the job was more important than me & I could never do that to my kids.

If I couldn't bring my family with me, then no, I wouldn't go. We don't have many fam/friends around as it is, and when I let our 1 yr old son stay with my mom for one weekend, I felt useless in a weird way-even though I went to work that weekend and got tons of cleaning done. I almost cried because I just can't stand to be away from him or my husband. So in all honesty, no, I wouldn't go, but that's me.

No, i would not go because i know my baby would need me! Expecally since the baby is only 1 year old!.....You may be only 26 but your child is only 1. How would you feel if your mom left you when you were only 1???
