[quote=Anonymous]My response is very similar to PP's - we were in a comparable situation a couple of years ago (compensation wasn't as good though) and the kids completely freaked out when we told them and both started sobbing. It was awful. And we've moved a lot. Similar to PP, the toll of COVID, and for us a couple of other things, had more of an effect than we knew. Ultimately, spouse took the position and kids and I stayed here. But the absences aren't a few days a month. It's weeks at a time. Still, it was the right decision. Bottom line - I think it's going to be really tough for you to now tell them that you've overruled their concerns and they have to go. But it's a legitimate decision if that's the decision you make. But you being gone 8 days a month away from home is not really that big of a deal IMO. Not at their ages. I'd just make sure the compensation is good enough to support you keeping a place in Boston as well as your home here.[/quote]
