I need to vent. For my husband's job we need to move every few years (but could also, move at any time with no notice). It stinks for me if I wanted to hold down a job, but I'm also incredibly thankful it affords us a comfortable life. We're not rich, but we don't hurt. I currently stay home with our toddler son. We are expecting our second child in April and are due for a move soon since the project here ended. I was very clear with my husband when we got pregnant that there was a 4 month period where I would refuse to move (February through June). I would also be very uncomfortable with him traveling past February.

Well there's a potential project that my husband has to help prepare a bid for. The company originally gave dates for end of Feb and husband kept telling me it'd be remote (even though I doubted it). Now it is not remote and he will actually be gone the first two weeks of March. I will be 34/35 weeks pregnant. Because of our frequent moves the closest person I trust to watch our son is 3 hours away if I went into early labor. My husband will be working on the bid in Colorado and we are in NH. UGH. I wish he would just communicate with his company that he needs to be remote (bid for project to potentialt client is virtual/remote, but company wants employees who are pitching the project all at their home office). Honestly, it would mean so much to me if he would even ask even if they said no.

I'll admit I'm a little sensitive, because when we were trying to plan our wedding and a move to a different state, his company sent him "short term" to another project on the opposite coast. They called on a Saturday and he left Tuesday for what was supposed to be 2 months... and then he was gone 6.
