a promotion is coming up for my friend but it's just not the right timing...her children are at their teens and she feels that she should be home more to guide them...it is the phase when children starts to rebel against their parents and do crazy things...on the other hand, the extra earning would help them save for their college...her husband will support her whatever she decides on...now she is torn between accepting the promotion and devoting more time on her children...

If they can manage the expenses with their current earnings, maybe she should be with her children more.

the husband could give a hand as well. looking after the kids is not only the concerned of a mother. I suggest that the she accepts the promotion coz i guess she must have worked hard to get this reward. Now it is not wise to drop it. Not all woman who has important job responsibilities have got their kids abondonned. The matter could be sorted out if the husband could give a hand.

You have a point poverty but I think her dilemma is that as a parent she wants to somehow make sure her children doesn't turn out to be delinquents. Anyway, if they can do with their present income, she must devote time with her children. Of course, her husband must do the same too. Children needs both parents also.

Giving time to children is very important. It is crucial also to your children's emotional growth. I don't think money or a good school can replace that. Of course,if they don't have enough to send them to school, that would be another story.

Yeah, the time spent with children cannot be bought. She must give it to them because they need it now.

I agree. The children should be her first priority.
