Going full time

Am I being rediculous here.... I work 15 hours a week. Pays reasonable. They've just offered me full time, I thought great I'll be on decent money I'll be able to save a minimum of 200 a month toward my mortgage so I can stop paying rediculous rent and have a comfortable bill/grocery payments without having to worry and still be pretty comfortable...... I've just had a major crying session.... I don't want to. I want to be with my little boy.
The impression I got is if I don't take the full time role they'll fill that with someone else but the main boss thinks my part time role is irrelevant. (My contract probably won't get renewed in december) so I'll be jobless so naturally I felt like I should take it. I am also fully aware loads of mother's have to go to work full time probably even longer hours but is it normal to feel so sad and upset about it.
I've been happy about it all week think of all these perks I'm going to be able to give my baby and now I've signed the paperwork today I'm devastated

All perfectly normal feelings lovely - and sometimes it’s a needs must.
Maybe when you’ve tried new post you could ask for flexible working maybe 24- 32 hours a week
Any options to WFH or to do condensed days so 7-7 some days etc?
All the best

Yeah I know your right. I feel more rediculoise because my new hours will be 8.30 till 4.30 (I currently work 8.30 till 11.30 sometimes with overtime) so once he's in full time school I'm really not going to miss out on that much time with him but it all just seems so final. Maybe I'll shape out of it once my new hours start. Or maybe I'm over tired.
