Kaight - My husband travels for work during the week. It could be M-F, it could be only 3 or 4 days and each September he's gone for about 11 days for a convention.
There are pro's and cons for sure. Him working this job enables me to stay home. But, I'm a single parent during the week to THREE girls (9, 6 and 2 1/2). EVERYTHING falls on my shoulders, school, after school activites, dinner, bathing, EVERYTHING. After 8 years, I'm used to it, but usually in the winter I get into a funk, but I move on.
It also gives us lots to talk about. We talk while he's gone, we sometimes set up the camera on the PC so my DH and the kids can chat. Him and I talk about the places he's been to, things he's seen. ETC. SOMETIMES we do get to go with too which is fun.
And I don't know if your DH is going to fly and/or stay in hotels, but because of having hotel points and frequent flyer miles, THAT's how we can afford vacations. Otherwise, we'd NEVER be able to pay for hotel rooms, plane tickets, etc.
So, you have to weigh the good and the bad. Good luck with your decision. If you want to talk more PM me!!
