[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Yes, I’m the wife. I earn more than my husband, but he does well too.  I get to work from home the 25 days I’m not traveling.  My kids miss me, but they are busy and happy when I’m not there.

There’s no way I could walk away from this job until college is funded.  There’s no job that would even pay me half as much for this type of  flexibility and I actually enjoy most of the work.  This job is end game for me; my plan is to milk it for as long as I can and then semi-retire and just do fun stuff like freelance writing.

But man - I don’t want to have regrets as a parent.  Being financially responsible sucks and I love the romantic idea of quitting, but it just won’t work. I love my kids so so much and it just feels wrong to be away from them. I appreciate the PP who suggested having family events to celebrate when I get back home from a trip.  Any and all ideas here are welcome.

So your household income is about $1M.  And you WFH 80% of the time.  I admit I'm very jealous of your setup.  Our combined HHI is half of your income alone, and we barely see our kids between our commutes and "fire drill" long hours.  What do you do, I'll happily take your job![/quote]
