[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 952164, member: 16802"] Farmgirl, Sounds to me like a good problem to have. Not that it makes the decision any easier, but you have obviously proven your value as an employee. Only advice I can give you, and this is based on personal experience; don't let sympathy for their predicament influence your decision. It's great that they are honest in telling you how valuable you are, and that you will be missed, and that things won't run smoothly if you leave. They are business owners, maybe genuinely good people too, but they are still looking at the bottom line as they should. Just saying; don't let emotion dictate your decision. Alot of regret has resulted from it. Go outside tonight, stare up at the stars, and think about what you want for you and your husband (and any future additions to your family :D ), and when you want to start working on these goals. It sound like you have goals worthy of much consideration, and although this may seem like a relatively minor decision in the overall scheme of life, very small and seemly insignificant decisions have often resulted in a complete change of where a person ends up in 5, 10, 50 years. Good luck to you and husband :tiphat: And don't feel so rushed to make a decision. I'll add there is no reason to avoid asking for a raise. They can either say yes or no. No harm in letting an employer know that you feel you bring more to the table. You are not kicking them while they "are down". You are just offering them the opportunity to keep you on by reasonable negotiating. Again, good luck, and let us know how the star gazing goes :D [/QUOTE]
