So here's my issue.... my aunt has offered me my choice of 2 jobs. To give you a little background I have been the main breadwinner in my family since the beginning, it works for us, but in April I got laid off when my company had to be sold. Since then things have been really tight.

My Aunt contacted me in September about a job, it sounded to good to be true, a job that I could do from home that would completely pay my bills. I was floored and jumped on the oppurtunity. Well its been a slow road back and my family is still struugling, just not as much. Today she offered me another job, for more money, but I'd have to go into the office which is an hour away and put my DD back in daycare.

So what do I do. Am I selfish for wanted to continue staying home if my going back into an office is going to save our family financially? Am I doing whats best for my kids if I go back to work? I'm torn between two places. I understood that when I was working before it was what was best for my family and have nothing against being a working mom, but if I can work from home and have it both ways am I better off to push through this last 6 months to a year of hardtimes? 

Sorry it's kind of long but I need all the opinions I can get please.

Is it selfish if going back we can payoff our bills?
