[quote=Anonymous]This was the exact arrangement that happened during my childhood but it was a pay cut after a layoff and failed job search.

As a kid, it was good. My dad brought a lot of tension into the house and a new job arrangement relieved it. I did have to change my activities. I was going to join a travel soccer club but instead did more low-key sports for a year or two then switched to school-based sports.

My parents had not been happy and the arrangement gave everyone space. Interestingly, when my dad retired moved back when I was in college, their relationship became a very deep loving and supportive friendship- like an ideal golden years relationship.

As someone going through an unwanted divorce now, I wish my DH had considered creative alternatives to blowing our family up.

One note of warning: people will make comments to you and the kids unless this is some kind of altruistic job, like medicine or firefighting. Let it roll off your back. I promise it is better than divorce. [/quote]
