    Hun would they care about you at the first place? NO, they won't be putting themselves out for you so I wouldn't be too worried, you owe them nothing yet, just politely say you have accepted another job. You need to look after YOU (something we women don't do enough of)
    Good luck with whatever you decide .

    I agree with MrsMac, you don't owe them anything and it's not your responsibility to take care of them. You need to look out for you and your family which means taking the job which is best suited to your needs.
    The first place is already giving you the runaround, I can only see it getting worse there.

    I agree they have not helped you out, you dont owe them anything. You and your family are number 1 and other job sounds so helpful, flexible and a happier place to work! and you get puppy kinder!

    A trial is exactly that a trial and since they were the ones that said it was a trial they should be prepared for a possible job rejection and not bank on you accepting the job. I say go with what you want The second one sounds great!

    First off CONGRATULATIONS, 2 job offers not bad work hun!!!

    Maybe you could say to the first clinic that the 2nd clinic offered to you first and that you are feeling compelled to take that position for that reason alone.??? Usually when you say "I have decided not to take the position..." they stop listening anyway to the excuse you give them.

    Ultimately you need to do what is best for you and your family, from the outside looking in there is no comparison however I know it is a different story when it's actually you in the predicament (sp) The 2nd clinic sounds much more like somewhere you would want to take a member of your family (pets) too for medical care.

    Good Luck !!!

    Aw Christy, you've got a good heart but the girls are right, you don't owe them anything. It sounds to me like you'd be very unhappy there so do what's best for you.

    And congratulations!

    you went for a trial day hun - any trial is a TWO WAY STREET - all you have to say is thanks, but no thanks - this just doesn't fit, and walk away. don't feel bad - embrace the other opportunity you've been offered and look at the first one as a learning opportunity for them as well as you.
