[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your goal just to make a lot of money? You want to travel a ton with a toddler and miss out on much of their life?

Sounds like your DH doesnt wantnto be a rrailing spouse. Why notnfind a new career andnis DC centric and movebup within that? Lots of huge incomes here. Both DH and i are DC based (well more like Virginia dulles corridor based) and our combined income is 480k++. Living well. Love the opportunity here. Only other place our jobs are plentiful is the bas area and we have zero desire to live there.[/quote]

Men do this all the time. We never say to them they are missing on being with their kids. [/quote]

Really? Mine lasted one year in a job that had heavy travel demands and long hours. He quit without even having a job lined up. The breaking point was missing multiple sports games his last month and walked in and quit on the spot. My DH hates travel and hates consistently working late. I manage a team of 10 people 2 are women without kids 4 are men with kids. 2 of the men are clearly the primary parent and refuse teavel (fine with me) and both are packed up and out the door by 5.[/quote]

You must be new to this site, otherwise you wouldn't be so surprised that your example is not the norm here. This board is filled with women who have husbands in high travel/long hour jobs.[/quote]

Nope not new.  Maybe I'm younger than many of you. Dand in my circle of friends are participants at home.[/quote]
