[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't take a job that involves travel if my husband also had to travel for his. I have a friend who's dealing with this now. Theyve got a nanny who stays overnight when needed, but I don't think that's easy to find. And her kids ended up getting really sick while he husband was gone and she was scheduled to fly out to the West Coast. That would be too much stress for me.[/quote]

I think this. DH travels a lot for work. I WOH but don't travel.  I could make a lot more if I switched to private practice - easily 100 - 150k more than I am making now.  But I thought to myself - what would I do with that 100k that would make me and my family happier than I am now? Maybe pay off my loans and mortgage faster, but I wouldn't run around buying a boat or a nice car or anything because i don't care about those things.

What would the more demanding job, in terms of travel and long hours, cost me? Tons.

IF your DH was unemployed, I would say get on it. But really, what would you do with that extra money?  That being said, if you are unhappy being a SAHM, then it may be in your best interests to consider even full-time employment. [/quote]
