Hey! Sorry you must have posted on a slow time here at the hive!
Since you are questioning it and you are planning on having a baby ( which is huge! ) it may be best to stay somewhere you are comfortable. It may be too stressful not only to train for something new, but to have to meet new people and drive all that time.
Will you be working after the baby is born? How important is work and job networking?
Unfortunately, I won't be able to stay home for as long as I want because I know we won't be able to afford it. I will have to return to work after the baby is born.
I vote to stay at pre school, I think with such a big moment coming in your life stability and comfort would be the best option. Another opportunity can come your way again when the timing is better... Being 1 miles away from home and your new baby will be priceless.
Thank you both ladies :) I think I know the preschool will be better for me, I'm just afraid to miss out on other opportunities. You are right pancakemix, another opportuity can come along eventually, at the right time though :)
If anyone else has any advice it would be greatly appreciaited!
@stbMohror: I definitely think it's better for you to stay with the preschool. The added stress of starting a new job with new people that you don't know if you will like and a long commute, not to mention looking for a new job if you end up not liking it... all that will not be good for your family or your baby/pregnancy. Also, I know so many women who end up a bit depressed over having to leave their children for corporate 10 or 12-hour jobs. Once you're a mother, you'll want to spend every moment possible with your baby. If you can handle the baby on the smaller budget you're on now, I would stay with your current job. Good luck and hope you have an easy pregnancy!
@squeak: Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it!
Funny story, I posted this last week because I was really starting to stress out about it. I've know about the new job since June and it was really getting close. Also, if I chose the preschool how was I going to tell my monther-in-law I don't want to work with her? Well a couple of days ago my mother-in-law text me and said her boss doens't know how much longer he wants to stay in business and that he didn't want to hire me for her position if he was going to close down soon. So there I go! My mind was made up for me and I totally think it was meant to be! I know all along I should stay at the preschool and I guess I was right!
Thanks again ladies! :)

I have a job situation I will have to decide on in a few months, well by December anyway. There are pros and cons on both sides and I just can't decide what is right for me right now. If you could maybe put in your two cents I would really appreciate it! Here are the details...
My Husband and I want to start TTC in October-November.
Right now I work at a preschool as a preschool teacher of 3-4 year olds. I enjoy everyone I work with, it's all women, about 12 wonderful ladies. I've been there for 2 years now so I've become close with quite a few of them. It's not a horrible job but I know I won't ever be able to move up there or make much more money. It's also less than a mile away from my house which is very convenient to only drive a minute or two and be there, especially in the winter! If I stay there I can also have my baby there too and be able to see him/her throughout the day. I know I would have alot of support from everyone there during my pregnancy as well.
Ok, the dilemma...
My mother-in-law offered me her job. She works as a receptionist as well as an accountant/tax person, I dont' know the exact title of her position. I have no experiece in this but her and her boss are willing to have her start training me in December right before tax season and work with her through tax season to get the hang of it. She is leaving after tax season bevause they just built a new house and are moving. After tax season I guess it gets pretty slow but the boss said I could still work full time. Part time is also available if I want to stay home more in the off season. I feel like I have a great opportunity right in front of me. It's not an entry level position put I have the chance to learn it all from my mother-in-law, where in any other situation I wouldn't be eligible for this position. I would be making a couple buck more and there are no bebefits but the boss will pay for continuing education. Also, if I stay there for a while I could always go and work for a different compay because I will have gotten experience. The bad thing is that it's about a 20-30 minute on the freeway and the hours are 8-5, total rush hour. Also, I don't want to be pregnant while driving in the winter! It's a big risk because I may not even like it. I would be working with one other lady quite a bit older than me, I guess she isn't much for chatting or answering quetions, and there is the boss who isn't there very much. I'm not a very social person outside of work so I feel if I work there, there goes my support and soclal life.
What do I do Bees?!
I don't want to lose this wonderful opportunity but I just don't know if it's the right time if we are trying to have a baby. My biggest fear is if I stay at the preschool I will never find a better job after :( I'm just afraid to make a choice.
Please let me know what you think, anything helps!
Thank you ladies :)
