I accepted a job offer but now I want to change my mind?

[ninaricci]

I recently accepted a job offer which I am to start in 10 days. When I accepted the job I looked at benefits, particularly health, for just me as my children are covered by their dad. today I found out that their dad may be losing his job in the very near future (high probability) which would mean I would need to put the children on my insurance BUT with the job I accepted it is $300 a pay period for me to include them! I have 2 other job offers which pay less but have better health coverage for a family. Also, the accepted job is 5 days a week, the other 2 are 3days leaving room for job #2 if need be (especially if we are down to one bread winner).

Can anyone offer advice on retracting a job acceptance?????? I feel very very obligated and think it will shed me in a bad light to back out. thank you!
