If your not ready your not ready. That is a decision you need to make for yourself. I am what I like to call a part-time mom. I say that b/c I'm a step-mom and our girls do not live with us. And to be perfectly honest I am glad its only part-time. I don't know that I could handle the full-time. I have so much of my own stuff to work on. Do what is right for you!
