You have to decide if your son is more important to you or is this particular job! I mean jobs will come and go but your son will always remain your son! It is YOUR choice alone. I pray that you make the best choice for you and your son! God Bless

There are a very few things in life that when we look back will have deep regret about. This is at the head of the list. At best we have only 18 years before that child is gone. Not out of our lives but living their own. Each day that we miss of that small amount of time we will regret. Having and raising children is always a challenge. But it is perhaps the only important thing we ever do. If you give that child up for a job, or for almost anything else, you will someday find that child doesn't know you nor you them. And there is no job worth that. Look into the future and you will see that what you gave up was far more important than what you got. No person is indispensable in any job. You can be replaced tomorrow or your position never filled. But there truly is no replacing being a parent. That is a life time job and the proof of how well you do will not be apparent for a number of years. Do not let those years go by. They will go so fast and never to return. Re-align your priorities and you will have your answer.

That should not even be a question that you as a mother have to ask. You should stay to take care of your baby. I'm sure that there are many other local jobs that you can find. It may be hard, but that should be a sacrifice that you as a mother are willing to take.
