Let me summarise where I am right now - I am a 40 year old mum of 3 great boys aged 6, 5 and 2. I am the quintessential busy working mum with a stressful job that needs me to travel extensively in the Uk and Europe often without much notice.
Trouble is, my husband has that sort of job too and consequently we spend all our time trying to sychronise diaries and failing, with me feeling like I am having to give excuses all the time for not coming to meetings when really it is because husband is in Madrid or wherever.
So we see little of each other in the week and every other weekend he is off to see his sick dad at the other end of the country. I feel like we can;t carry on as we are but not sure how to make it right. I really don't want to give my job up as I've worked really hard to get to where I am and all the other careers I've looked at don't stack up money wise, meaning you basically spend your salary on childcare.
