I got an offer for a transactional job. The only downside is the hours are 9-7, required to be online and working the whole time. No flexibility to step away whatsoever. I have a young child and I’m worried about how this will impact my ability to be there for them/the longevity of a career move like this for my family. My current job requires me to work outside 9-5 hours (litigation) but I get to work them late at night or early mornings and can log off around 5 every day. Is this common in transactional work? Looking for advice from other moms on what they’ve done/would do in this situation.

For any parent that kept their child out of daycare for the first year or so….how/when did you decide was the time to start sending your child to daycare?
