[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I turned down a great job offer when my oldest was a baby because it would have required this arrangement for what we thought would be two years. I have had a very different career trajectory as a result - not bad, just different. If you are both employed and doing well, I don't think doubling one salary is worth giving up every weekday with a parent. [/quote]

I think it’s absolutely fine in previous generations most children really didn’t see their dad much at all even when they were living in the same house and married my mom never saw her dad except Sundays at dinner that is it because he was working. I never saw my daddy either because he was working and there were several years when he did not live with us because there was a better job further away. It’s totally fine. People are making way too big a deal of this him seeing the kids every weekend is fine. [/quote]

This is very true. Women today will not accept this arrangement. Sleeping in separate bedroom was common. Today, its a sign of marital distress. Even if your spouse has horrible sleeping habits, you have to endure lack of sleep because separate bedroom OMG no that's the end of the marriage [/quote]

I’m in my 40s and I think it’s an ideal situation. It worked for my mother and it worked for my grandmother. It’s fine.[/quote]
