Single parent with most care, option to go full time at work will result in more pay+4 holidays a year+benefits but less son time.. what to do?

I have my awesome son Thursday until Sunday late afternoon as it currently stands, luckier than most in that respect.Work is offering full time, that would mean I'd likely get him just Sunday and Monday (or something similar) but have an added 4 weeks of holiday per year, a pay increase, sick pay, better job security.Help me out fellow adults. Giving up time with my son is a scary prospect, but is it for the betterment of himself and I?I already pay for his Day Care, Swimming lessons, I do all the mom stuff. I plan on paying for his schooling, and I'd love to take him on great holidays.He tells me, with his limited understanding, that he wants to be with me all the time, that he feels sad at seeing me less.HelpOne response on facebook from a friend was: "He has to be able to find friendships and comfort outside the bond- so as long as he is being socialised then I say getting some money in the bank is a great idea- especially so you have plenty for medical emergencies, great dental treatment and so forth- all stuff he will benefit from in other ways.It's a balance.Right now I am earning for my childs future- I rarely get to spend time with him as my career isn't where he lives- by the time he is four I should be set up to be able to have him stay with me half the time and I can then dedicate time to him."But I just don't know, he's four, and he loves me so much, tells me he wants to be with me forever. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/297vrFT
