[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, with the additional info, I switch my vote to no. Your kids are young still. Four days a week in the office plus travel means you will see them a ton less. You have “been responsible for all the kid chauffeuring” (why??) but now your spouse is going to be super flexible and do it all? It seems wishful. [/quote]

I agree. If it was nights and weekends OR long days in the office, that's one thing. But both together means you will be absent for a lot, and middle school is about to rear its ugly and awkward head.

Can you test drive your DH's involvement before making the jump? Sit down and write out what the new schedule would be and then live with it for a few weeks. See if you DH will really step up.

Is it fair for you to have to give up an exciting job because you would otherwise be stretched to thin? Absolutely not. But let's deal with realities, not ideals.

FWIW, my last job was my "dream job" but in the end my boss was a weird mix of micromanaging some things and being too hands off on other. Usually the opposite of what was needed. I loved the position and the company and the work, but in the end my immediate work environment sucked so I left. [/quote]
