Home Based Business Opportunity
home based business opportunity question by pagangirl26: Want to quit family business to stay home?
I have been working for my husbands aunt and uncle at their home based family business for 4 years. I want out. I only work 1 or 2 days a week and only for about 4 hours per shift. My pay is about 50 cents higher than minimum wage, and I have to drive 35 minutes to get there. This is a skilled laborer position and I am the only employee besides them. I was told I would be learning more and getting raises, but neither has happened. I just found out I am pregnant with my third child and have made the decision to just stay home with the kids. The job is not worth the trouble and I am truly very grateful to them for the opportunity to learn this trade, but I simply changed my mind. The problem is I feel so guilty; like I’m leaving them high and dry and now they’d have to pick up the slack. I was told by them at the beginning that if I ever wanted to leave that I could and to not feel obligated to stay. How do I tell them tactfully and not let them talk me into staying?

First off let me say I understand your frustration. As a mother of soon to be 3 I would not stress in any position that can only pay you .50 over minimum wage. One thing you always have to watch out for is working with family. You tend to not get the “rights” you would get if it was someone off the street, but yet its your family. I definitely would approach it sensitively, but don’t hold back at the same time. Let them know that you have realized that at this time in your life that you have decided to be a bigger and permanent part in your family. If it is losing that income, or you wanting to have the luxury of having your own, maybe you should look into having your own home business. Take a look at www.thinkbiggerthanajob.info for something that may inspire you to be more for yourself and your family.
Hope this helps,
