Update on Should I take this 3 week work opportunity considering everything going on at home?

Thanks for all the input on my last post. Wanted to give you an update.

I finally sat down with my husband and told him everything how important this client and project is, the money involved, and that there's zero pressure on him. I made it clear if he said no, I'd stay, because right now he needs me more than anything.

I also told him about two galas I'd have to attend with my client, since I figured that might be the part that stung the most like I'm off having a fancy time while he's stuck on bed rest.

Honestly I braced myself for a hard conversation. But he just said go, don't miss this opportunity, and that we'd figure out the logistics together. I got a little emotional, not gonna lie. He's always been supportive, and this just reminded me why I married him.

So it's settled I'm going for the full 3 weeks. Now I'm looking for a caregiver to help him morning and evening, an hour each, for the day to day stuff. Kids are doing fine with it too.

Thanks again for all the perspectives last time, it really helped me think it through before talking to him

I remember your other thread. Glad your husband is ok with it all. Maybe post this update on your old thread to make sure people don’t miss it. Hope your trip is successful.
