If you are m-th travel it is never easy until they are in college! But it is probably easiest when they are under 6 or so as long as you have the support from your spouse. Once they start with the activities and homework and friends, it’s pretty important to be around during the week. I travel a couple days a week and have a lot of flexibility usually. So it works out just fine. My kids are 4, 11, and 13. I’m also really present when I’m home. Not on my phone, etc all the time
Agree with MD1 on this. Logistically, it gets a little easier in the ages they are older but don't have dualing after-school activities yet, but the kids understand you not being there and that can create some emotional tension.
Correction. I talked to one of my friends in consulting When your kids are in college, your wife will want you around more. So it’s actually never a good time to travel :)
With a 1 year old at home, how does your wife cope on the days you travel? I’m in a similar situation and have managed local only projects for some time.
My leadership has generally been supportive and I’ve traveled maybe 40% since my son was born. Wife is at home, but obviously it’s a challenge for her to be “on” 24/7 when I’m gone. We make it work, but I just don’t think it’s a life we want over the long run
Yes exactly what Butts said. Kids will start to need you every day. And you will want to be there at their events. Also you will want to put a lot of effort into your marriage, make sure your spouse is happy and supported.
My wife works as well but she doesn’t travel. We have a full time nanny and 1 night/week scheduled sitter so we can go out just the two of us. We try to take every other vacation without the kids (but that pretty much stopped when we had our youngest and with our parents getting older). But we try to do at least a weekend every year. We have actually been leaving our youngest with my brother in law and taking just my older boys on short trips like camping or an overnight in the city.. so they have some time with us and it’s not just all about the “baby”. I’m sure that’ll change soon as well though
This is extremely helpful in processing my own situation... currently 100% local with toddler and baby on way - may have chance to 2x salary yet likely 100% travel. Now wife works weekends (nurse) so we’re like passing ships in night. This new role would allow her to quit and be FT SAH. My own dad passed when I was mid 20s so acutely focuses on how my choices may affect my own son.
