Well, the driving lessons are going to be taken FOREVER, so there will be a little relief once that is over. The schooling, however, will be going on for some time. It's a big decision you have to make here, Symph. . , and I would feel uncomfortable give advice on it.

I'd advise you to go for the new job .. you'll be able to work all the scary details out and you and your children will benefit.

If it's really what you want then why not take it?
Don't pass up the opportunity! Another may not come for a while.
Good luck!

I say go for it, take a chance, you may never get this opportunity again. There are so many people here in the US that are out of jobs, its a good chance to better your life. Now money isnt everything, your life and your childrens life is most important, but they are at the age now where they dont need so much care. Find someone you trust to watch out for them, and do something for yourself. You deserve it.

Great opportunity!
First off Symph, congrats! You have obviously made a great impression on your bosses to be offered this new job!
I agree with everyone, go for it! Yes, it will mean changes to the family schedule but they will cope. It is a great role model for the children to see Mum advancing in her career due to hard work and dedication. As the children get older they can help with little bits of things too so it will get easier as times goes on.
You go girl!

I am sure you will make the right decision. Some sacrifices have to be made but it will
in the end work to your advantage.

six or eight it really won't make much difference and the opportunity is
now. Grab it and if it means cutting back on university and taking longer, doesn't matter. You just go ahead and do what you know you really want to do.

I am leaning towards taking the offer. I really got the vibe from reading your post that is what you want to do. I think you may be surprised to see what you can work in with your kids.

I say, jump on it. You’ll figure out a new routine with your kids and their old enough now that after school activities (which can’t replace the time they spend with you) will broaden their interests and circle of friends. I worked full time when I was single parenting and although at times I was dead tired, it seemed to all work out.

First of all, congratulations.
I am sure you deserve this offer. There's a bit to weigh up.
I think if you can get things organised, and have routines, that it can work.
Of course it would be nicer to be able to take the kids to school but many people can't do this. And being a good mother as i know you are is not about working hours but about love and values. A mother working in a good job, and making money to support her family is a positive role model. And in the current climate having job security is a big thing.
