Help: Calling All Mothers!

Jen, It's a sacrifice we all as mothers have to take from time to time.
It's always on us ! Lol.
You will have to decide if it is worth you taking the extra moneyVS your child's peacefulness. He may be ready and will benefit like you said.
Then consider the economy being what it is and you both will benefit.
It's going to get real tough in the months ahead, and only the ones that can survive will see the light of the new day.
He had angels that you and I have, only more of them that enjoy being around him ! LoL !!!

He HAS ANGELS THAT YOU AND I HAVE, (is what I tried to make the correction, but couldn't) Sometimes you know this won't let you back in to do).

Nothing is worth sacrificing his well being and peaceful environment for. YOU make the sacrifice. Because he is 3 and 1/2 Exactly in 1 1/2 years he will be 5-years old..a different time, for him. I have a question for you? Based on what you have said in your blogs, how do plan to homeschool??????????? I wonder about you sometimes ,Jen..I really do. Time flies, and you CANNOT recapture his todays, you can always change your job, schedules, etc. You didnt' say anything about finances, you are speaking of time am I correct? At one time you mentioned your husband, and another time you mentioned you were tired of struggling as a single parent? what's up ? your friend ,Marta ----keepin' it real and honest.

Jen,
Be thankful you have a job! The economy today is so unpredictable, just stay focused and steadfast. Trust that God will continue to bless you and keep you both safe. I know its hard... I have a young son that I had to put more responiblity on this school year due to the economy, but he is handling it all very well. I thank God everday for it!

What?..at 3 1/2 eyars of age, E. Private you are talking about peace? are you ok or just pandering to make a feel good statement?..for heaven's sake he is 3 1/2 years old..what MOTHER is looking for peace when she has a child that age? Sacrifice is what we mother's do when 1. we are not wealthy, unlike Sarah Palin 2. we don't have a large extended family that we know will love our babies to death and take good care of them as well as not spare the rod 3. we have a dynamite husband and father that shares the burden so yes we can have some room to wiggle..children need socializaiton at 3 1/2? wait a minute..didn't you 2 blog about homeschooling, you now a modicum of truth or as the Bible says talk with a measure of truth..leads to Peace.

Guys,
I appreciate all the advice. Doc thanks for reminding me about those Angels that have my kid's back. Carmelita God is good and thanks for reminding me of the job that I do have while so many are jobless. E-- Now you know that is an excellent idea. I can really make the childcare business work and I did have it in mind at one time. I guess I got side tracked. I can work from my home and have my cake and eat it, too. I love little kids and I think the world of them.

Marta as women, I suppose sacrificing is what we do best especially for our children. By the way, where did you read that I said I was a single parent or were you wearing your bifocals at all? (((LoL))) You are so serious at times, but this is why I love you girl. You have quite of way of shocking people into reality. I don't like public school and want to homeschool, but my husband is the one who feels strongly about socialization his peers. But if I provide my own childcare business as was suggested, I can bypass those crazy people in the workplace, keep my own kid, and make money by watching other people's kids. I think this is a workable solution. Thanks for the all the responses and much love all of you for the advice.

Doc thanks I will do that. I will admit that I rarely dream and when I do it's after eating late at nite. ((LoL)) I worked overnite and will be hitting "the sack" shortly. Let's see what the Creator will do for me in dream land.

Jen, you forgive my frankness, but you can't have your cake,....and eat it too. You'll have to decide what's best for your own household. More working time, usually means less family time and childcare, but make the most of the time you spend with your child full of timely quality. Plans should include your child every day. Then of course, make time for yourself to de-stress. It can be done I'm sure. Motivational moments are the most imporant is giving up what was in order to meet the new what is? Did you understand that? (smiles) Anyway, do what you can to keep your bonding with you little one, and also meeting the love and nuturing you offer in love in additon to balancing the new position of employment. You can do it, and still find a sigh of relief it will work out well.

..."Jen, you forgive my frankness, but you can't have your cake,....and eat it too"...

MISS Rael, what do you mean by saying that I can't have my piece of the cake and eat it, too? I thought you and I were friends. (LoL) I am doing all that I can to create a happy balance and a win win situation for all involved. Thanks for you the love and your response, because I really do understand what you mean (smiles).
