[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH needs to make more money if he want to have a job with so much traveling. Summer is a two-man job, so you need to either afford a nanny or he needs to pick up and actually do one of the slots.[/quote] +1 Traveling is a luxury with kids - time to yourself. But it costs a lot at home. It's a deduction in net salary that has to be realistically considered. [/quote] Going through this now with my DH. I’m the low paid GS-13 fed and he’s the breadwinner consultant and heavy traveler (travel has been intense the past 5 months). We have before and after care AND a babysitter who picks them up and helps me with the nightly routine from 5:30 - 8:30 pm, 3-4 nights a week. It sucks, but throwing money at the problem is the only thing that seems to make this somewhat tolerable. DH better be getting a damn good bonus or a large increase in comp this year! Good luck OP! [/quote] So you can’t watch your school aged kids, at all, without help? Crazy![/quote] I’m sure she can but wisely is insisting that her DH not foist it all on her due to his “big job.”[/quote]
