To quit or not to quit?

Ok so I recently went to work and my son is a 1 year old. Well I had to take a day shift and now I’m paying 115 a week for him to stay with the babysitter. I moved in with my mom because my ex left me for a older lady and hasn’t helped with my son at all. (Which I’ve filled for child support but he’s no longer employed and etc) well to make a long story short my mom suggested I just quit and come home and work evening and she would watch my son while I work and that way I’m at home during the day with him. I’m currently a online student and she’s pushing me to quit like now and stay home for a while. Finically I can, but I still like moneys and making my own.. Am I wrong for feeling this way ? I know she wants to help but I don’t think she is realize she won’t always be here pull me out of this situations and I’d rather try and make it on my own 🤷‍♀️
