I have worked my current job since the beginning of the year. I took this job out of necessity of a part time job with good pay so I would be able to have the flexibility to be home with my girls more and go to school while they are in school. While the schedule has worked in my favor, the job is a stretch for me and my abilities. As I close out my first year I realize that I am not a good fit for this job. While I have been able to get by and get it done, I am not comfortable that I am doing it to the fullest capability.
So I have decisions to make. I'd love to stay home but we can't afford it. I currently have children I watch before and after school that supplement income that was lost by taking a part-time job and I know I am guarnateed at least one full time child for babysitting. I would need at least one more full time child to make it worth me staying home but childcare is not always a guaranteed income.
The job I currently have, has no benefits, no vacation, or retirement...so I wouldn't lose anything but income if I left.
Looking for guidance, insight, advice, anything. I see pros and cons with both jobs. Anybody have some insight they'd love to share?
