I am a single mother who has the opportunity of a lifetime with her career. I am currently working over 50 hrs a week and making roughly 30,000. I have the opportunity to train for 2 to 3 years and advance to a 6 digit salary. In order to do this I will work constantly and move constantly. I would have to leave my daughter with her father (my ex) and my mother while I was gone. I am so afraid this will cost me all I have with her. She is only 3 so I am thinking that if I am going to do it I should do it now? Help I am so confused. ↓

| Thats a tough one but it's a great opportunity and your right you should do it now, Will you still get to see your daughter throughout the year. I've also had to give my career up as Im pregnant and I hope I can go back to it some day, But good luck in your decision sorry I couldn't be more of a help ↑ |

| Tara,as long as you have a good friendship with your ex and you trust that he will raise your daughter right and he won't play games with you and will keep you fresh in your daughters mind(although I'm sure you will be calling and sending things every chance you get!?)And you feel absolutely comfortable that things will be o.k.,then I say GO FOR IT!!!!!Because you are doing it so you can be an even better provider! 2 years seems like a long time but she is only 3 you'll be back when she's 5. She will still be a little girl and you'll have many more years that you CAN be there for her and you will be glad you did it once it's done because of the MUCH GREATER income you will be bringing in! It will make for a better life for you and your daughter in the long run and that's what you have to look at.2 years is nothing compared to a lifetime,so I say GO FOR IT!!!!Opportunities knocking,if you don't do it you will later regret it,don't pass it up! ↑ |

I know this is a huge opportunity for you but what's more important...money or your daughter being raised without you? In 2 to 3 years, do you think she'd be happy to come home to you after being with her father and your mother? I have my doubts.
Good luck in your decision, but in my honest opinion, I'd NEVER leave my daughter for NO amount of money. ↑ |

| Dont do it your child comes first,when you return it would not be fair to take her away from her father who she has been with for 2 yeasr! ↑ |

| This is a really important bonding time between a mother and child. I understand your dilemna though. Maybe there is a grey area or middle ground that hasn't been realized yet? Good luck with your decision. ↑ |
