To take a job where I’m abroad 3 weeks at a time?

I have been offered a freelance job that would mean spending 3 weeks in Dubai several times a year. The pay is so high it would mean I only need to work two days a week the rest of the year rather than full time. My husband says go for it, I’m worried about the effect it will have on my two youngest children who are 2 and 6. But not sure if it evens out with the benefits the rest of the year. AIBU to take the job?

3/4 times per year, what a dream, definitely do it!

a man / father wouldn’t even be asking ‘should I’. If your partner is happy, go for it! What an amazing opportunity

So you’ve never been to Dubai? 🤔 I’d at least take one trip out there before deciding. Providing it suited you & your family YANBU.
