Last one to post........... Part 23

[Lyn5]

I still haven't gotten a job yet, I can still make a move for ya! The way I feel right now I really would go! I need to get away from all this crazyness!!


Just think the time away will make him miss you even more

well, their is crazyness here too I guess absense does make the heart grow fonder...but, when my DBil got a new job that was more money and more time away from family and I saw the effects it had, I told DH the money isn't worth it...and I think that is the hard part for me. If he enjoys the job and our homelife is still happy...it would be worth it. But, if it is too hard on our family, it totally wouldn't be worth the money to me...I rather have him around. But, the hard part is we may not know unless he tries...and I could tell he was really excited about doing something new and having this chance

I think that is one of the hard parts for DH...not being with the kids as much and leaving his wife home alone

dh and I have only been away from each other four times since we've been married. He twice had to go out of town for work, and I went to NY alone with the kids twice. All in 12 years!

I know for me, I just don't feel whole when he even works LATE, let alone in a different town.

I think I ran off Kelli and Kliz

No money isn't everything, and I think ALOT of people forget that! Family is much more important and you don't want to harm your family in anyway! I think you both need to sit down and talk it all out. See what works best and look at everything from every angle. If it's something he's really excited about maybe it would be worth a try. If he tries and it doesn't work out can he go back to the job he has now?

that is how I am too. I was so bummed when he was gone for 2 nights last week. He said it might be only once a month that he stays overnight....but who knows To tell the truth, I am content with how things are...I feel we have enough to do what we want...maybe not everything all the time, but I am very content. But if he is excited, I feel really bad holding him back...especially since he was willing to support me last year when I was thinking of changing jobs.

not sure...if someone else takes the position, I would think he is out of luck on that. But, he has a background in teaching, so he could most likely find something...but then it would be worse hours and pay than he has now just can't win

Change can be good though sometimes, you just have to be open to it.

Nope - I am here. DD wanted to make Rice Krispy Treats.

Wow - Lyn that is a hard one. The money would be nice and make things a little bit easier. But not if it is going to upset the family so much. Than no amount of money will fix it.

But what if you changed your job from FT to PT. That way you could get the kids to and from and to activities when needed. Just a thought.


Liz - I am totally different than you. DH was out of town at least two nights a week for the first part of our marriage. He left the house at 4:00 in the morning and didn't get home until after 9:00 at night when he was home.

I spent alot of time by myself in the early days.

Even now he still spends a couple of nights a month out of town. Like tonight.

At my current job, I couldn't go parttime...and I have a great job with great retirement benefits/days off and all that good stuff. It would be very hard to leave. If I did, I could do consulting work from home under my own business...but that would be very stressful and would probable ruin our lives more

PICK ME, PICK ME - I will have one for YOU!

Lyn - If he doesn't take this job that doesn't mean a different one that works better for you guys won't come along.
