[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again ....DD is 3. Her doctor isn't recommending I quit but we need to figure something out since this isn't working. We have already put in place a lot of behavioral goals and reward systems that don't seem to make much difference.

I have contacted a few home care centers but no one has the room for a 3 year old nearby. There's a gradual separation program that I have also found which has availability but that would require me being off for a significant period to get DD adjusted. Also, it is a 3 day/week program and I work every day.

I don't qualify for any leave - but I'd be willing to take leave without pay if we could figure something out. I just don't think my boss would give me the time since it has to go through HR also and since I'm part time, I don't have many benefits.

[b]If we hire a nanny, I will literally make $10 an hour. This doesn't make much sense to me as my hours at work are fixed but I do work much more than I get paid for. So really, my take home pay will be less than $10 an hour. [/b]
I am 100% sure nothing is going on at school. She's always been a very stranger adverse kid and somehow we didn't prep her for school as well as we should have. But if I quit, the goal would be to get her in a program that equips her with the skills she needs to be more independent and self-calming.

Thank you for the empathy - it's been very rough on our household. She's such a bright kid and all of this would be so ideal - if she would just get with the program!

But are you taking into account all of the long-term financial ramifications of quitting? Maybe you work in a job/industry where positions are plentiful and you can slide back in at the same income level in six months or a year, but since I don't, I was willing to basically break even for a year until my youngest started school.  It was worth it to me b/c I have an awesome flexible part-time job that I know I would have NEVER found, at least not at this pay rate, if I had given this one up.  I'm hoping to stay at this job until all my kids are through school.[/quote]
