It's a toughie isn't it? I guess you really have to think do you *need* this job? Will that extra money coming in be worth it after paying for full time childcare?

If it were me in your shoes I think I would turn it down. Especially if your TTC again. If you don't really need the money isn't spending time with your little one and seeing him grow up more important than a bit of extra cash? I went to CC full time from the age of 2 until I started school. I really enjoyed it and I think it made me very independent, my parents had no choice they couldn't afford to only have one bread winner. I do know now that my mum felt incredibly guilty that she never got to stay home with me. So I guess you have to weigh up the pros and cons? What's more important to you?

I totally understand the need to have some time away...I went back to work very part time for this exact reason. Is that something you would consider?

It is such a personal decision...good luck
