I've been given an opportunity which puts me in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between what's best for my career and what's best for my family.
Said opportunity would take me to the States for 7 months (with kids). Dh would stay alone in U.K., and visit us occasionally.
Dh and I have had problems which lately have improved. So it seems likely to set things back if we're mostly apart for 7 mos. Also, it can't be great for eldest, 3.5, who is attached to his dad.
Any mums of older children out there who regret giving up a career opportunity? Or who don't?
I just know that if I take it, people will say what a saint dh is for letting me go ahead with it. But if I don't take it, no one will say what I saint I am for giving it up.
