WFH vs dream job

I'm a new mom and on maternity leave. My son will be 1 year old in a few weeks and I'll be returning to work soon.

I LOVE my current job/coworkers. It's my dream job, but it's a high stress job and the commute is one hour each way. I worked 4 days from 7 am to 4 pm. If I go back, it would leave me little time to spend with my son. It is also not very flexible.

I applied recently to another job and got it. It will be something I've never done before and I'm a little bit nervous about it. It will be less stressful and will be WFH. The position is full time and the pay is a little bit less.

I feel with the new job I'll have a better life-work balance, but I'm not particularly fond of the new role. WFH is near impossible to find in my field.

I'm torn apart between my dream job and being a present parent. I would love to hear from your personal experience and what choice you made.
