[quote=Anonymous]NP here. We did a combination of what the previous posters have said. Husband and I are both consultants, I travel 1-2x per month usually 1 to 3 nights per travel episode. 1. DH switched jobs into something less demanding. He was at a Top 5 consulting firm and there was no balance whatsoever. Career move has not been a step back professionally for him despite the naysayers. 2. We moved closer to family about 6 months after baby was born, this helped in 2 ways: obvious help when we are in a bind, and also just slower paced lifestyle than DC which has helped tremendously. 3. DH and I tightly coordinate our schedules. I start earlier, he ends later. So I'm with baby in the afternoons and he does mornings. 4. NANNY. Seriously, no brainer here. We pay overtime when I'm on travel and it's 1000% worth it.[/quote]
