Should they stay?
Any moms ever left their kids temporarily and left them with family to get your stuff together?
I’m currently a single mom of 4. 2 boys from my marriage and 2 from a long term relationship. My boys are older they will be moving with their dad as it’s time for him to guide them now. My daughters are younger and I’m in a situation where I now have to leave state.
As the primary parent I was taking my daughters with me. Their dad has an issue with that and wants them to stay here with them.
I’m torn between bringing them with me or letting them stay. If they stay that’d give me the opportunity to finish school, work 2/3 jobs to save and pay down some debt, amongst other things.
If they come I can somewhat still do those things but I would essentially sacrifice time because the plan is to work nights and school during the day so I wouldn’t see them as much and my mom would be helping me while I’m at work or school.
I just need to hear from moms that did this to get different perspectives. How long were you gone? Who kept them?
