[quote=Anonymous]My DH did exactly this.  Took a new job about 2 weeks before our first was born that doubled his pay (and then some) but requires him to travel 1-2 weeks a month.  The travel SUCKS.  But, you get used to it over time.  We hired a nanny instead of day care (and with number two on the way that has been the best decision ever).  She can pick up the slack that I need when he is gone -- laundry, dishes, baths, dinners, etc.  Now, it's not the same as having him around, but it's manageable.  And, things will get easier as our kids get older.  Sometimes I wish he didn't have to travel (okay all the time I wish this).  But, the extra income has made things possible for us that weren't before and we are able to save $$ and put aside $$ for college for our kids.  Sometimes I do feel sorry for myself when he is in Paris for a week going out to dinner every night and I'm eating a bowl of cereal while watching RHONJ -- but we all make sacrifices.  And his job can be grueling.  It's not all fun and games.  Bottom line -- we are making it work.  [/quote]
