[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I would pass on the assignment, up to and including resigning. I know it's not what you want to hear, but there's no way I'd leave my kids (2 and 5) for three months.

My DH did a 3-month stint overseas when our first was 2, and his relationship with DC hasn't really ever recovered. It has made me extremely conservative about spending time apart as a family. I feel for military families who deal with deployments -- it is incredibly tough.[/quote]

Out of state assignment for a mom with young kids?  It is not a place I would want employment. [/quote]

What about for an out-of-state assignment for a dad with young kids? Does your answer change?[/quote]

Nope.[/quote]

Then at least you're not sexist. And that's your choice, not OP's. Or anyone else's. Isn't it nice that we all get to make our own choices??? I like Amy Poehler's advice - people should just say to each other, "Good for you. But not for me!"

And OP wasn't asking for your opinion of her employment situation. She was asking for helpful tips for how to make this easier on her family. So, way to be non-responsive.[/quote]
