Maybe you need to make two pro/con lists, one for each option.

Thoughts to consider:

If you quit your job, how will you continue to obtain your medicine? You don't need to just come off of it! Are there public services you can utilize if you're without insurance? Call around and see.

Will babysitting pay more than you are currently earning?

Are they likely to put off paying you or skip paying you? They're family, you probably know them well enough to know this.

Inventory the stressors for each situation. Which has more stressors? Which can you eliminate more stressors from?

Which offers more employment security?

Will working for family strain or strengthen your relationship with them?

I have babysat for family for an extended period in the past. It was great for me at the time. They paid me fairly well, on schedule. I poured myself into playing with the kids all day and didn't try to have "me" time while I was there, so it was beneficial for the kids. It brought us all closer together.

That wouldn't work for me right now. I really need my health insurance and don't qualify for any kind of public assistance.

It is a complicated decision for you to make. Take your time, pray about it and don't make the decision too quickly. I know all too well how tempting it is to give notice at work sometimes, but you don't want to do that unless you're sure you'll be okay after you do.

Hugs and love!

Dawn if it all turns to crap, we could still try my offer! Peace
