[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if I read you right, every other week the kids will be with the nanny for 3 days & nights while both you and DH are on the road? Is that tenable? (Answer: no, unless you have Grandma living with you, or some other arrangement you haven't mentioned).

Will DH quit or scale back if you take this?[/quote]

Well - some of the travel will be day trips and I have told the company that the weeks DH is travelling I can only do day trips and not overnight. Right now they are making all the right noises about working with me on this.

[b]Yes DH has offered to scale back and work with me on this.[/b]

We might have the odd occasion when the nanny will have to stay over.

But its still a lot of travel. No family locally but have some good friends who  I can call on in a pinch. [/quote]

If he is serious about this and is realistic and willing to take on the task of being the default parent (for an extended time- not just a month or two) and your nanny can work flexible hours on the fly, it can work.  I have a backup overnight nanny on call too.  [/quote]
