Question

What should i choose my work abroad or my 7yr old daughter?????????

Answer 1

If you cant take your daughter with you overseas then stay home.

Answer 2

Well I know she is probably in school and stuff, but you can't take her with you?

Answer 3

Wow is that something you really need an answer for? If so maybe parenting isn't for you.

Answer 4

Take your daughter abroad. She'll benefit from the experience.

Though I assume the father is making you choose, you didn't put any details.

Answer 5

if you have to ask I question your parenting skills

Answer 6

The only answer to that is YOUR daughter of course! Children need security and love from their mom... a job is that, JUST a job...

Answer 7

no contest i would choose my daughter.

Answer 8

When you had your daughter you made a choice to be a parent.  So working abroad isn't even a choice.  If you didn't WANT to be a parent you should not have had a child.

Answer 9

i understand money is an issue to ensure yr daughter better education and richer life (not in the physical sense)

(why else wouldn't you find work closer by?)

just patient a bit. years fly by and soon she'll be in college and will need you much less (till she's past the 2nd decade) but meanwhile she needs you more than ever! Most of the values kids get from their home... form their parents... during these pre-teen years.

actually a good (and scary) idea i heard recently form an old parenting advisor is that all the parents' job consists in getting their kids cruise safely through the storm of the teen years (time when ppl act lightheartedly are most likely to get in trouble - just to remember my own teenage years, lol)

and by the way, my mom was always there for us in the good and in the bad ($$) times... now i'm so very grateful to her for that. and our relationship is so much stronger!

Answer 10

My daughter, hands down, every single time I have to make a choice.  You are the parent, jobs will be there later, your daughter's childhood won't.

Answer 11

Your seven-year old daughter, no contest.  You brought her into the world and you are responsible for her care.

Answer 12

As a parent why would you have to ask that question?  You should put your child first and not leave her behind to go work abroad no matter how good the offer is.

Answer 13

Is this a serious question? If so, remind yourself of this fact: work will always be there, but your daughter's childhood will not. Why don't you make the best of both worlds and take your daughter abroad with you? She'd probably love it. Since you didn't offer any details, I really can't say anything else.
