[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not lazy or shortsighted to stay. Your job seems to work really well for you. I’d only leave for significantly more money. [/quote]

+1.
OP, other good or better opportunities will come along. Don't give up something good without a concrete immediate benefit.

I've declined multiple jobs/promotions for flexibility reasons and I just accepted one for a good raise. If I'd accepted those other opportunities I wouldn't be available for this one. You have lots of time and this is not your only chance to change jobs.[/quote]

This! OP you have rose colored glasses on about what that new job might be, and how it might springboard to something better. Reality is you will be giving up something so hard to find (flexibility, great boss) for same pay and a lot of unknowns. At a time when your kids are about to need you a lot. Middle school and high school kids require a lot of time and emotional energy. Don’t get caught in “grass is greener” syndrome at work.[/quote]
