Thanks again, buddy. Been reading more on your story and I do see some parallels. My heart goes out to you...I don't know if I could do this for 2.5+ years.
I've got full time work lined up for the summer but it's out of town so it's going to take some juggling of the kids, but we'll make it work.
Once home in September I'm hoping she's either left her job or started something much more manageable so I can get back to working full time again too. My reluctance in seeking more work these past few months is that I fear the friction and resentment that'd ensue if I was working crazy hours and still doing all the childcare on weekends. She refuses to help much and instead buries herself in work or escapes to pamper herself or "clear her head" by working out. I do use a sitter on the nights when I work midweek but I'm saving wknds for the family...6&7yo, as you well know, is a cute but crazy age and I feel like I've only got 5 or so more years before they're off doing their own thing.
She says she wants to be more present for the family, but her job now prevents that.
