I'll admit I've had to do a very quick read through it (multitasking dinner ) ... like the way you've put a number of pros / cons for the different scenarios there - helps to make an informed decision

Hope you find the best path forward for you
Thanks for this!

I always found that its best to follow your heart. Any decision you make is going to be the right one, if its the best one for you.
Thanks for this!

Thank you! I am still transitioning so much, and there is no perfect job without stress- which I understand. I think the dynamics of family biz are what I am pretty used to/acclimated to but as I go through new changes, (which I haven't felt comfortable sharing w/ my parents, just 1 of my sisters know), I am seeing more resentment building in personal ways...

Its hard to stay focused when my mom is home during the summer mo's. She is very needy and never takes NO for answer. She pulls me away from work, asking me to go to store, or pick up something together, shop etc. She seems to boss us all around in her way, even though she is not overly mean about it. I always feel bad, and dont know how to say NO to her at all. She is tricky and full of her own issues. I feel so stressed lately when she asks me to do thing w/ her, like almost used, or like a kid. I dont know what to do or who to talk to. It might not seem like a big deal, but at 34yo, I pretty much deserve more respect then that. She is like a child too. And bored now that it is summer so planning all these things... I feel really confused how to handle that part. Otherwise, the job is great. I can handle occasional passive aggressive side of my Dad, I can even handle my mom just for summer since she goes away allot. I just dont know how am I supposed to handle her managing me and my time as if she 'owns' me. I hate not having a voice .... (sorry for the vent, as this just happened again, today)

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
