He said it went really well and that it seemed very positive overall. I guess it will be one month more before anything is decided...and it guess it seems that they would expect him to travel 5 days a week for at least the first year

So, I asked if he would take it if it was 5 days a week and he said he would if the money was right

I told him how I felt...that I want him to enjoy going to work each day (I know how it is to hate each morning having to go to work)...but it just doesn't seem worth it...I mean honestly, if we have enough for our needs and some of our wants, I honestly don't think more money would bring us more happiness...If it was only two of us, I don't think it would matter...but with 2 kids we need to think of our family first...I don't know, I told him I don't think we could continue our lifestyle as it is and have him gone the entire week and then exhausted on the weekends...it just isn't reasonable...not too mention I would be doing everything alone all week and I work a little far from our home and where the kids go to school.

Plus, I feel like it keeps snowballing. At first he would be gone 2 or 3 days...then it was 3 or 4 and now 5....next thing I know I will be living here and he will be living there

It is so heartbreaking...the whole thing sucks. I want him to be happy....but I want the kids and I to be happy too!

I'm so sorry! I know that you want to let your dh enjoy his job, but that would be so hard!! You two just keep talking about it and I'll pray for you.

and then my coworker/friend asked how it went...and I sort of talked a little about it and mentioned that I told DH that even he it was a huge pay increase...it wouldn't matter if I had to quit my job to manage the kids/animals/house....and that was a HUGE mistake...she got a little defensive and kept asking what would be so bad about it, why it is bad for them to get on the bus so early, other people do it, etc. I think she was upset at the thought of me leaving...since I treat her really well and sort of protect her from some of the bad customers we get....so I sort of politely said I was just thinking out loud and I don't really care what other people do and that yes, some people have no choice in the matter and have to manage but that if we have a choice I want to do what is best for our family....
