Every summer time in the US i go and work there... But this year my kid(4 yrs old) will be going to preschool and nobody is gonna take her so i'm pretty much inclined to bring her to school ...
here's the thing I still wanna work while i'm here . One thing though, i can only work night shift because my wife works daytime and nobody will care for our kid ( we take pride in bringing up our own kid ourselves and not let the maid do that job) so one of has to work nightshift and she has a good paying job that it's not gonna be easy to just let it go...
Call center comes to mind .... i work nightshift then come home daytime and bring my kid to school...
considering what i make everytime i go back to the states my income from a call center job won't be comparable ... Should i just be a stay at home husband for the meantime or should i just go out and work and not be considered a freeloader hehehe...
what would you do?

April 5th, 2009 11:44 PM #4congratulations on making the decision and being able to take care of your child instead of delegating your most important job to someone else.
i would stick to that decision if you can afford it.
take the night shift if you have to, but dont forget to also have time for your wife. happy wife = happy life.

April 6th, 2009 03:09 AM #7if the money is right since you're considering staying home at the moment, why don't you try having a small business ( at the same time helping our own people ) and be with your kid , i mean you have the flexibility of everything .
then you don't have to go to US to work and leave your family once again .
just make sure thaT the small business has a potential to support the family .
that's my view since i've been running my business for more than 10 years now , and i even had my wife to manage the front line . i mean the office . she's been taking care of the kids at the same time , more flexibility .
AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE A MAID HERE IN CANADA .

April 6th, 2009 02:44 PM #8IMHO the best way to find a fix to this issue is to know which is more important to you. It's really tough to set a balance between family, career, money and opportunities.
If money is just the problem, try to position yourself in a way that will open potential career advancement to you... domestically.
If you have a business idea in mind, maybe it's time to get this thing in motion.
I honestly believe that wherever you are, if you are focused and dedicated to your goals, you will achieve more prosperity in life.
Just my 2 cents
