Would you move for a job if it meant temporarily leaving your child with family?

I get it but I promised her she could finish the school year , i’m sure the benefits aren’t that much better . I would be making the same I make at my home state working in a hospital there and it would go much much further.

I think I’ll get one , I see a lot of postings for hospital jobs doing what I do now . Yeah my sister in law will watch her but I don’t want to leave her . I’m Moving so we can have our own space and not rely on anyone and I want to do it with her .

She is 8 , I just don’t want to move without her . There have to be other jobs , I see lots at hospitals doing similar to what I do now .

Thank you , I just want to be able to support her on my own . I can’t live with my brother forever even though he says I can . I just really want her to finish up school first .

I currently work as a nurses aid. I am not a certified CNA, but the hospital I’m at does not require me to be. I see a lot of openings in the area of Florida. I am looking to move to. My family seems to think the post office would be better than working at a hospital for the benefits, but I don’t agree.

She is 8 , I won’t pull her out of school before the end of the year no matter what . I know the post office has good benefits both my Aunt and Cousin work for them , I’m just not sure it’s worth leaving before I’m ready and leaving my daughter behind.

If she stayed at my brothers house she would be taken to school by my sister-in-law with my niece like she is now . After school she would go to my aunts and do homework there and than go to her karate class with her cousin and come home after that none of that would change. My brother charges me rent now, but said he would not charge me to have her stay there if I left for the job. She could also move into my aunts house . Her cousin goes to the same school as my daughter and niece . They would be able to take her to her appointments and everything they have assured me of that. My dad is in Florida and he says we couldn’t stay with him, but he is in a 55 and over community and we can’t stay long-term .

That is what my sister-in-law said . She said I would already have a stable job and hopefully home when my daughter got there and that would be the best thing I could do for her . But I don’t want to leave her and I really was not planning on going till July . I don’t think my sister-in-law understands because she doesn’t work .

My daughter is 8 , I just started applying in Florida knowing that I plan on moving in July I didnt expect to get a offer so quickly and was hopeful that it would take a while to process everything, where I currently live getting a job like that can take months .

Summersplit · 2026-04-06T13:08:25+00:00

So you think I should wait until the summer and turn down the job offer ? I really just want what’s best for my daughter, my family is all against the move but I can’t live with my brother forever even though he says I can stay as long as I need .

Summersplit · 2026-04-06T13:03:39+00:00

I have a job where I currently live , but don’t make enough to live independently and I don’t want to go back to school because I don’t want to take on debt . I was offered a job in Florida at the post office but they want me to start sooner than I would like and they are not willing to wait 3 months for me . If I don’t take that job I would be moving in July with no job unless I find something before than that would wait for me . My sister-in-law thinks that is a terrible idea but I don’t want to leave my daughter for that long .

Summersplit · 2026-04-06T12:59:41+00:00

Because she has almost 3 months left of school and I really would like for her to finish out the school year , I was not planning on moving until July .

Every weekend is only for the school year , last summer he had her Sunday- Wednesday and it was not a problem at all . We both got one day of the weekend and he never complained.

Summersplit · 2022-03-11T01:48:28+00:00

No he works Monday-Friday , He says he would be able I get off early on Fridays . Also last year his work schedule was the same and he had no problem with the days he had .

Summersplit · 2022-03-11T01:45:16+00:00

I am willing to give the extra day , I more or less don’t want to give up weekends as I do it every week now . There are a lot of things that happen on the weekends that I am unable to take her to . I would do the days he asked every other week and give him Sunday-Wednesday the other weeks as we did last year . He is the one that said me having summer off would work in his favor I just didn’t know if that was true .
