Definitely, Alison! I will make sure I speak to him before he speaks to the kids, to find out what he wants to say. My needs are different, but I am willing to put mine aside for the sake of the children. Unfortunately, he made the decision to leave his last post (prematurely, I feel now), pursuing a job that seemed really great, with excellent salary, good prospects, but it turned really bad (his bosses are the worst, the project was behind when my H arrived, the travelling is a b*tch to this out of the way city, etc. etc.). Now, he has been given this much better opportunity, with a great international company. He is hoping this will be his last job and he can retire with this company. This is what he says, and hopes, but it rarely works out as expected with my H. I don't think he is completely thinking of himself (maybe I'm being too forgiving here) because he does want to support his family to the best of his abilities, I think, but there is an element of selfishness too.

Anyway, I appreciate your posting, and you are right about presenting a united front, and I will speak to him about how we are going to go about doing that.
