work travel trade off when you have young kids

This is tough when the smart phone is smarter than me...

would not have been possible for the "old" me. I don't regret a minute of it. And I guess my rationalising the cost of karting as being tuition for a different kind of education wasn't so far off the mark.

The bottom line for me is that life is too short, your kids are old before you know it, so spend as much family time as you can while you can.

You've made the right choice with the job situation!

in the end, my current boss got me a nice retention bonus to stay (requires 2 year commitment) so it all ended out as a win-win.

 

I keep my current at home job, with great job security, some more cash in the bank and I get to keep my work life balance. Today was my son's 12th birthday and I was home to enjoy it with him. Its all good!

 

 

Thanks for all the wise counsel

 

That was the other option we all forgot to mention: do nothing for a bit and see what happens. Congratulations on it all working out so well for you. Enjoy.
