[quote=Anonymous]Also consider how much support you get at home. My DH travels a lot for extensive periods of time. My kids adjust as their routine doesn't change too much. But I did discover when I started traveling more that my DH's approach to things was lax - the kids started to be afraid he would forget to pick them up from school, he was so slow getting them meals that it was bedtime before they ate. The kids found this much more difficult on them. I also found that traveling takes a toll (I would be gone 1-3 days a month) on me-- when I traveled I worked longer hours, often to the west coast so there was time differences to deal with then I'd be home again and have to immediately adjust back to the family schedule life etc. We didn't get much comp time for travel so having to go back to the office after 3 exhausting days left me tired and often I didn't have the patience I should have had for the family and its needs.
