[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No different than a parent who travels regularly for work and isn’t home at night [/quote]

Every week?

Besides, while that can be necessary, I can’t imagine anyone with a family would choose it unless they had to. And the Op has other options that likely aren’t terrible, just not her idea of perfect. [/quote]

My sister is married to a truck driver who is essentially gone 2-3 weeks every single month. So yes, it -could-work.[/quote]

That’s his job, truck drivers don’t have to travel. Deployed members of the military have to be away from family. Actors and movie crews often have to travel away from family. Touring musicians have to be away from family. That’s how jobs based on travel work.

OP is contemplating doing this on purpose without necessity. She wants to live in a very nice neighborhood while her DH works too far away for a comfortable daily commute. There are good schools and other nice neighborhoods within 50 miles of Marin that would allow her family to live in the same home instead of making dad rent a room with strangers or live in a crappy 1 bedroom apartment somewhere near his work while she and the kids have the nice house and specific good school she had picked out. I don’t get why they can’t wait two years to move to Marin together. [/quote]
