Commuting distance and salary unfortunately have to factor in.
It almost hurts more to have had it this close and seen that I could have jobs 1 and 3 and have to pass them up-- but Im having to be a grown up and a mom first and a person concerned with just myself and my wants second...
So I feel ok- but Im very sad. If that makes any sense.
I certainly understand, and think you made the right decision for now.
I would look into moving where there is bus pick up. That way you don't have to worry about the girls walking in the morning. Obviously, not something to worry about now - but if #3 is your goal, and you will always have the same issue about mornings, then its worth thinking about a move to have the freedom to choose the job that best suits you.
