[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I’m curios why did you make the job change? Doesn’t make sense to me that you would take a job with travel knowing that your partner might travel too. [/quote]

Fantastic opportunity = a lot of fun travel for the OP that she would never be able to do otherwise.

I'm sure it's also either serious journalism or NGO work or something, but everything about her story screams that she wants what her "life partner" has. More freedom to pursue her dreams.

I'm not sure that's wrong, but only time will tell if it's right, either. That will depend on her choosing well when it comes to childcare coverage. If it's "whoever is available tonight," that has the potential to make DD really stressed out and feeling like she's just a chore to be dealt with. If it's a really great person, and family who will keep the DD's schedule as normal as possible, then it will be fine. That tends to be expensive, though, if there's not another parent or grandparent who can be there.[/quote]

I’m PP. Working for a family where 1 parent travels is hard; let alone both parents or in this case her partner. I understand that the travel might be really good, but I wouldn’t have taken the job. My current DB travels a lot, but MB doesn’t and even then it’s hard for MB because she works a lot as well. Hopefully OP finds a good person willing to be highly flexible and she needs to pay them well. [/quote]
