What a fitting demonstration this nitwit is of the caliber of advice available on DCUM.

As for the actual issue: it stinks but you can't turn things like this down unless you are mommy track. A man who turns it down will be permanently labeled. I suggest you support DH completely, don't complain to him while he's away (recognizing it's hard on his end too) and hope that this translates into more down the road. Be a ride or die b*tch, as the kids say. [/quote]

My husband turned down this kind of thing repeatedly when we had young children. There's no way in hell he would ever have done that. No way.
Then again he has a phd so more control over his work life. Years later he still has a great job.

This stinks. Five months away? Your young kids will change so much in that time.and to the lady who said go and military people do this all the time - he's not military. They should have some single young people that agree to go for extended periods of time. People with young kids should go for a week maybe that's it. Maybe a week out of a month max. What a shit of a company!!!

I hope he looks for a new job soon. One with no business in Asia.[/quote]
