I like the balance SP is trying to strike here, Thinker. I would tweak it just a tad though. Offer up moving to the remote office in exchange for Retrov. b/c, of course, you understand that Mrs. Think's stress is real...and you want to help.

Interesting, I hadn't thought about it that way.
By the "remote office" I am assuming that you mean the one 30 minutes away (still living at home) rather than the ones hundreds of miles away where my W has asked me to move (which would require me to move out).
It would be a good compromise, and would give W part of what she is asking for.
Interestingly enough, I'd be willing to bet that after a bit, my W would ask me to start working from home again some days, because of the flexibility that it gives her to come and go without always having to pack 3 kids in the car, work around naptimes, etc. -- but then it would be her choice, not mine.
Biggest stress would be that I'd have to buy another car, but I can do that.
