Torn between to work or to be a full-time mom.

There are times that we, mothers, need to weigh things in order to make our family be in it's better situation. And as a 'mom' now, I am having a hard time thinking which of which should I consider to do.

Here's the reason why I need to...

Work
To have a regular work means financial help for the family. If I work, I can help my husband to have extra income which can help for our daily needs and savings. With that, we can give our child his needs without having a headache to where we can we get some of his needs. And I can help my husband pay our debts.

Full-time mom
If I don't work, I'll able to take care of our son 24/7. It's better than having or to get a nanny especially that I don't know people here in this hometown coz I didn't came here originally. I can teach and look for my son's achievements and improvements. I will not be afraid thinking of him everyday when I am at work because I'll be with his side every day and night.

But here's the thing..

If I don't work, I can do full-time mom, which is good for my son. If I don't do full-time mom duty, I need to look for a nanny which is somehow hard to do this time because we need to give salary. And know that being a nanny us not easy so we need to pay her big enough that is equivalent to her job. But, I am thinking what if I found not a good nanny for my son, for sure I will be stressed abd fear for my son.

I am really torn between to find a job or to be a full-time mom. That's why I kept praying to be hired in a near school so that I can go home anytime soon especially during afternoon to look for my son if he's fine.
I don't like to work away from our house like I need to rent a house where I can stay because that only means that I'll be away from my family.
But for now, I am so hopeless if I will be hired in this hometown we're living because I've heard there's no item available. That's why I am thinking if I'll work in the next town to earn. But then, I realized that if I work, my salary will surely be enough for the nanny's salary every month.

Haayy, I really don't know what to do this time. It's like I am drowned with so much in life.

Praying you get hired in a school near me. It's really hard to be away from your kids, iba parin talaga pag nanay ang nag-aalaga. This really is a dilemna for all moms. Sending hugs.

Salamat sis.
Totoo yan, grabe hirap mag decide talaga kaya palagi ko pray na kung pwede dito lang sa malapit at yung regular job na talaga na kahit kukuha ng kasama sa bahay eh sapat pa rin ang sahod tsaka yung mauuwian ko anak ko kada after work

My sisters were hired at naassign sa malayo. Sa albuera to be exact. Pero umuuwi cla everyday. I know mahirap din. Nagtiis cla for 3 yrs na ganun na situation . After that they applied for transfer atvnatransfer na cla dito sa malapit.

If opportunity knocks grab it. Hirap hanapin work these days. Tiis muna. 3 yrs not too long. Pwede na transfer. Ok na rin cguru ung makauwi ka every weekend. Or maybe every other day.

Just my opinion. Hope it will help you decide if mayopportunity.

Yun din inisip ko sis. Kaso, walay item Jhs diri uie. Tapos ang SHS 70 points na d i ang need unlike last year. Mao nahitabo wa kaabot ahu points sa shs, 69.83 lang ahu haha.
Tapos mao to, shs lang daw naay item karon. Saklap.
Pero sige, laban lang. Basin matawagan na sa Deped. Ok ra nahu ug layo basta sa Deped dili contractual kay gamay kaayo sahod igo ra pampasahod ba. Atleast kung Deped, dako so makapasahod pa kung mangita ug kauban sa balay. Pero mas maajo jud unta sie na diri ra sa duol or kaha sa gitrabahoan sa ahung bana ba para makauli. Lisud man gud mangita mubantay bata karon diri uie. Labi na wa koy kaila

Oh, my. Your son sis is so pogi! Mom's job is really tough and it is 24/7. I salute moms like you, sis! I am not a mom yet but somehow I understand how hard to be a mom since I can see it in real life and in movies.

I feel you. I hired a nanny before when I was still working in the corporate world. It always break my heart to see my daughter cry whenever I leave for work.

I was lucky enough to find online jobs when I left my regular job. I accepted 3 jobs that time. We somehow managed just until we had enough savings and my husband got promoted. Now, I am a full time mom, homeschooling my daughter.

Tiis lang mamsh. At tiyaga maghanap ng online jobs, mahirap sa una but once makakuha ka ng isa o dalawa, it's like the floodgates will open, marami na agad kasunod.

I'm in your situation too sis @zbabe after I gave birth. I have that question which is to continue to work or resign and take care of my son. My boss don't want me to resign because a regular position can be offered to me soon. But I have to choose and I chose my son over work. Here I am right now, a full time mom and a house wife and I never regret my decision. I am just trying hard to do side hustle to help my husband in our financial needs in my own simple way.
