Well what exactly are you asking?

My recommendation would be to take care of your children but what exactly are you seeking advice on?

Agree with the above question. Situation sounds very challenging. This work almost demands that you’ve got a (little p) partner at home to make it all work. If you’ve got a great nanny, that helps a ton, but that’s also not a co-parent, it’s another employee with issues and needs. You’ve got a lot on your plate. I wonder if a more local employment situation would be better. I think North Highland mostly staffs locally. Or an industry role that doesn’t demand so much Travel and after hours extras

Seek a woman/man who can understand your world and perspective. Enjoy life!

You could do what my cousin did - met a woman at a gas station (she worked there) and married her for free child care (btw - I don’t recommend this approach)

North Highland and Slalom both do local staffing if you want to stay in consulting

Deloitte does local staffing too. Switch to a local position, potentially even work from home like CMT. Talk to your OMP. We take these requests seriously. Don't compromise when it comes to those kiddos.

Consider a permanent role or an internal rotation if you really like KPMG. Might give you the opp to dip your toes in something more stable without necessarily exiting.

Is it okay to disappear from friends & family to work on career change goals (several months)? I want to focus and not get distracted by friends & family needs to see me or attend certain things as it takes up a lot of time. If I focus for a short time, I can quickly achieve my goals to switch. I can hangout with them after all of that. What do you think?? Any feedback will be appreciated.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
