[quote=Anonymous]When it comes to how it affects life at home?

It’s been presented as an option to DH to start a new project this summer with a new team. He’s a team lead and is well liked by his subordinates, and they all want him to lead their team. His other option is to stay where he is, working on an identical project. The proposed project would include a schedule change that would have him working late weekdays. He pretty much wouldn’t see the kids (or be home to help with them) M-F. Under normal circumstances, I would be mildly annoyed but agreeable to the idea. But considering camps are closed and we don’t have much to do recreationally outside of the home, I’d prefer him home at his normal 5pm M-F just to give me a break.

His ego has really been stroked by this team’s desire to have him lead them, and I feel he’s failing to see how this would impact things for me at home. I don’t work during the summer (work for a school district), so I would essentially be on my own all week during the kids’ waking hours. Before I broach the subject and put my foot down about this, so you think I’m being fair? Selfish? [/quote]
