Job Dilemma

Hello. I have a dilemma regarding jobs. I will post each of the positions below and their pros and cons. Please weigh in on your thoughts.

Job #1 - Non profit - I currently work here, but am off on sick leave right now.
It's a decent job with decent pay. However, we moved out of town and I will have to drive at least 40 mins one way to get there. I don't much like the work, it's boring and not challenging. I do like the people that work there. We live out of town now and my older son needs a way to get to school and I could drive him if I kept this job. He drives, but the highway is kinda scary. The thought of having to drive into the city every day is daunting.

Job #2 - Non profit - I used to work there and have the opportunity to go back.
The pay is pretty much the same at this job. This job is from home. I can have my two year old son home with me for the majority of the time while I work, saving on daycare. The people are really nice and the work is alright and it is fairly challenging. We would have to figure out something for my older son to get to school and back as we live out of town. I don't know if working alone all day is in the best interest of my illness. But on days where I don't feel well, I can still work and at least not have to take any days off. I can be home with my little boy if he's not feeling well. I don't know how it'll go with me trying to work and have the little guy at home. He can be handful sometimes. Grandparents have offered to watch my son occasionally when I need a sitter but they live in the city, about 20 mins away.

I think that's about it. I really appreciate your reading this and commenting.

Upon reading this I am led towards number two option but as you said being alone may not be good for your health so you would have to have a good support system around you so you are not isolated. It really is a tough choice and I wish you all the best.

If it were me, I would choose option #1. I need the structure and routine of going to my office everyday. I had a job once where I worked from home, and I would never get out of my pajamas. I fell behind on my work because I was not accountable to anyone and I just watched talk shows and snacked all day. All in all, it was a disaster. It got so bad that I had to quit and get a regular job. Now I work M-F, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I love dressing up and doing my hair in the mornings and I have my routine down pat. I have someone I am accountable to (my boss) and we have a good relationship. It just works for me.

Either option you choose, I wish you only the best. Good luck!

Well, I chose option #1 for now. I will talk to my boss and let her know my issues and see if it gets busier. I also have a job interview on Jan 6th, so wish me luck! Thanks for your responses!

I know you are looking for help to make a choice, but I feel that no matter wha I say or others say it is going to still be hard. I also worry about people havng other input and when things go wrong they blame the ppl the listened to. Not sure if that is you or not, just how I see it. I think you need to find what works best for you and your family. I know I could not sit at home long or be in head long before I started to really go south. I like being out and doing things with others and being in different environment. I hope you find your answer and are comfortable with it, Best if. Luck!
