I can see very well as to why you would be excited about your new job . I do at least two " 7 day" cruises a year and, I sincerely find them to be the most enjoyable times of my life. Here it is you have the opportunity to enjoy just travels with "pay" ! Gee! Aren't i jealous of you . Smile.
Anyhow , it seems that the real nature of your concern is being away or apart from you child(ren) for so long or so frequently ? And of course it would be nothing less than natural for the average mother to feel that way . But, if the hubby is telling you to go for it ; and as you yourself did say ( that the kids will be left in good-hands) ...then hey ... why not !? Had he ( hubby) thought for one moment that he couldn't keep situations at home under control in you periodic absence, then i am sure that he would be totally against the idea of you taking on the job .
Besides, just think of te wonderful experience ( and opportunity) it would bestow upon your hubby & children to do some serious bonding while having as much time to share & spend together outside of mommy's presence. Smile. Personally , I am a firm believer that all us daddies/men need that opportunity & experience with our child(ren) from time -to-time. The experience could only help us daddies to better understand just what a mommy actually goes through in raring the little -ones. Smile.
Then last but not least , there's also the "good-pay" (monies) that you stand to gain . And all while doing a job that you may very well enjoy ! Hey ... what more could you ask for? WEll, with the exception of being able to bring the kids & hubby along to work with you everyday ! Smile.
I , personally , do second your husband's opinion . Go for it !
Give it a trial-run at least , and if after several months or so you should decided that yous just can't handle it . Then you could always give it up and find something different and more suitable for yourself.
Wish you well with your final decision !

well that is hard. I turned down a awesome job because i would have to leave my kids for 2 months but then be home all the time and making killer money.
It all depends on the long haul and how old your kids are. If your kids are all over 5 and it is a job you will be happy with and secure in and you family supports you in it then go for it.
If your kids are younger and your not sure if the job will last or your family isnt very happy about it then I would stay at home. Your kids are still to young to completely understand and it may harm your relationship with them.
It has to be your decision though, you have to weight the good and the bad and decide what will benefit you and your family to the fullest. If you family is important then it needs to be a family decision to the fullest, (and if the kids are old enough involve them in the decision also)

Well if you are leaving your kids in good hands and the pay is good then you should go for it. Just make sure you have some way to contact your family.

I think you have to do what is right for you and your family. If your husband is telling you to go for it then you should. He is more than capable of taking care of your children while you are gone. I know you will miss your kids but this will be helping the whole family out financially. Good Luck.

Kids grow so fast. Why would you take a job like this and miss out on these fun years? Money isn't worth missing those kids. Your instincts are telling you something.

Go for it, if your husband behind you do it, you don't know how many women would love to be in your shoes.... if nothing else your doing this for the future of your kids and because of them you need to move forward and provided for them.

leaving your kids, would be hard, i wouldn't leave my son, i would miss him way to much , and i would also wonder if i were you why your hubbie wants you to go , mine would have a fit , and i think latter on my family would resint me, for not being there for them , so personaly , i wouldn't take it, i mean would you want the hurt and the guilt afterward , ???? thats something you should think about
