WIBTA for leaving my kids behind while I try to secure their future?
u/ClaytoBeauty
I am a young widow (F27) with two young children (M4, F2). My late husband wasn't very wealthy so I've been forced to move back in with my father. Fortunately, my father is the agent of a wealthy baronet (M54). He's in a little debt right now, but who isn't? The baronet's daughter, Ella (F29), has taken an interest in me and asked me to accompany the family to Bath. I think this is my golden opportunity to improve my life! The baronet doesn't have a male heir and what could be better than marrying a woman with proven fertility?
If I go, I have a chance to catch the father and secure my children's future, but I will have to leave my kids behind and people can be pretty judgmental about things like that... so WIBTA if I spent six months in Bath and left my kids with my father?

YWNBTA at all! Ignore these other comments about your duty as a mother, as a woman you need to try for the best you can get your hands on! This opportunity is far too good to pass up!
Go secure yourself a baronet!
u/ClaytoBeauty (OP)
Thank you for saying this, I have told Ella that I'm going to accompany her!
Comment near the bottom:
u/RosingsRector
A quick consultation of The Baronetage reveals that this baronet is in fact Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall, born March 1, 1760. Ella must be his daughter Miss Elizabeth Elliot, born June 1, 1785. There are two more daughters in the family but as stated, no male heir. The property is entailed, something that I am very familiar with, so the requirement for a male heir is valid.
I will consult with my honoured patroness, Lady C, to see if anything should be done to warn Sir Walter about this scheme. It would be a shame to see such a man marry a woman of low rank and Lady C is very concerned about the preservation of distinctions of rank.

There is much discussion about Charlotte marrying Mr Collins, or if it would be better had Mary married him... But most of the time these only taking in consideration the effects on the lady and her family. (And a misguided notion that Mary was in love with him?) It made me curious. Which option do you think is best for Mr. Collins: Charlotte, Mary, or someone else?
Going to quickly address the Mary liking Collins myth. She does not accompany Mr. Collins and her sisters on the walk to Meryton and "Mary might have been prevailed on to accept him" is very far from in love!
Anyway, I do think Mr. Collins got the best possible wife for him. He will probably never have Charlotte's love or admiration, but she is on board with his flattery of Lady Catherine, manages his house, and doesn't mock him. He won the wife lottery.
I do think he would do fine with Mary, she could play piano as much as Lady Catherine desired and study theology. They would both be insufferable and oblivious of that fact, but they'd be insufferable together.
As for a more compatible woman, Mrs. Clay may be a good contender. She's an expert in flattery and doesn't mind playing deference to those more powerful than her. Lucy Steele would be great, she's absolutely shameless and would suck up to Lady Catherine masterfully. I also think both of these women would be thrifty enough to not get into debt before inheriting Longbourn. Isabella Thorpe would be a bad choice for that reason.
Mrs. Elton would also be a bad fit, I think Lady Catherine would hate her. Lydia would be a hilarious disaster. Kitty would probably do *okay*... Mary Elliot would never marry so low but she would make another very funny choice.
All the other good options, like Miss Taylor/Mrs. Weston, have higher standards.
