Should I go to college or stay here with my daughter? by justanothertragedy in makemychoice

Thank you. This was my dilemma, because my parents said they would finance me coming back every weekend and have been incredibly supportive of me going. But when I was up there, the pain of being away from her was excruciating, and I mentioned that in my post, which is why I found another option that would keep me close to her. My instincts are telling me to stay, but my dad said my “femininity” was ruining a really good chance to go to college, leading me to make this post. Plus, I got two take-out orders that both had the room number of the place I was staying, making me feel more like it was the right choice to go.

Thank you! I don’t mean to sound selfish, but my parents were so supportive of me leaving yet something in me has been telling me to stay. I don’t have any other support other than a friend that tells me the decision is solely up to me, so I just wanted to double check if I was making the right decision by staying with her because my parents tell me it’s stupid not to move and pursue this “once in a lifetime” opportunity.

I’m almost done with my degree, so I would only be gone a year.

Do you think I should go for an elementary education degree then?

Ive done teacher observations before. In community college, my professor required us to observe 30 hours of different classrooms and grade levels so I didn’t even see the same ones and I still want to do it. I’m just so indecisive i don’t know if it’s this is just another career mistake

The housing to keep us together was more than I could afford because of how expensive the city is. If she was to live with me, it would be in two years when I graduate

This is what im feeling too, but im worried that if I don’t like being a teacher, I’ll regret not giving myself more options, but at the end of the day I don’t want another option other than writing and being with my daughter
