Would you leave your dd/ds for 3 weeks to have training for a new job?

DD is 18months old, and I have the opportunity to apply for a dream job.
This role allows me to have flexible hours and spend time with my dd once I have started, and will provide us with a good income.
I am not happy with my current job, and I am miserable, what ever job I get in my industry will involve some time away training.
My gut instinct is to go, as I am sure dd will be fine and adaptable, as she is very comfortable about staying away from me. I feel that this could change as she gets older, and think that is better to do this now not later iyswim?

Saying all that I prob wont get the job

Advice would be appreciated

lilymolly how goes it? have you any news?
In your position I'd probably go for it. It's a one off, and it will be hard but probably worth it. good luck!

Hey, well done on getting this far! I'm sure they will be fine. Better a few weeks away and then a happier mummy than a miserable, stressed mummy who is stuck in a job she hates.
