It's a well known part of the though process that you need to have somebody "qualified" to confirm what you already know - it's part of how I make a living ๐Ÿ™‚

I have no experience of working away but a friend does and she has 2 boys (currently 7 and 4). She took the role because it meant she wasn't made redundant but that was aboit 3 years ago and she's still doing it. Probably away 2 days every couple of weeks but sometimes more. She has to leave before 6am to commute to her 'away' office to be there before 9 and is home late on the days when she comes back from the away office. She quite likes it but i know her husband resents her for it and it has serious put pressure on their relationship.

It might work for you, but it's only just working for my friends.

One of my favorite sayings is "only the wearer knows where the shoe rubs" and i think it applies here. Only you will know if it will work for you.

For what it's worth, i couldn't do it.

maybe the fella is wishing it was longer or more frerquent.... or both. hardly enough time to change the bed sheets. the OP's missus wont be so rushed if he is away from Tuesday-Thursday... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Enjoy it and make sure you get the family out for a weekend or two as suggested above, you never know they might enjoy it. I don't think my brother is coming back unless he absolutely has to.
