For how long? 6 months? A year?[/quote]

6 months certainly for a big payoff like that, certainly. This happened to us and we had twins, one with severe autism. It allowed us to afford to move into a house from a rental and set us up on the property ladder. [b]Look, I get that things are really tough now with work and young children but this is temporary in the scheme of things.[/b] My DH also traveled a lot and twice he had to fly back to meet me in the emergency room with our asthmatic twins. I had no family support so I had to cut corners on a LOT of things. You can do this for 6 months, OP, I am rooting for you. [/quote]

This is a very good point, all other things aside.

OP, you have twin 2 yos, and a young elementary schooler.  That's a really rough situation - but it passes.  Rather than addressing it with life-altering solutions (ultimatums, job changes, possible divorce), I'd look for patchwork solutions that will get you to the other side.  If that means temporarily reducing savings, then so be it.

But, if you are saying you never want your husband to take a job that requires travel, that's a different conversation, and one that should be carefully planned.  But I didn't get that from your post.  [/quote]
