[quote=Anonymous]OP I know you have financial goals -- we all do -- but I wonder if it's really THAT important to meet all of your goals in one or two years no matter what the sacrifices. Isn't there a happy medium where you can work at a demanding but not insane job for 3-4 years and actually spend some time with your family during that time? Frankly my biggest worry here isn't your kid, because she'll be fine with caring ILs or good nannies. I wonder how you will possibly stay married after a year of living like this. My marriage is quite strong IMHO, and neither DH nor I have the types of stressful demanding jobs you're describing, but honestly it's still really hard sometimes to juggle new parenthood with two work schedules, new jobs, childcare providers, in-laws, finances, moving, etc. Any one of those things alone would be stressful-- what you've described sounds untenable. A year may seem short but it's more than long enough to tank a marriage. [/quote]
