I would 100% take the opportunity. You'll be home every week to see you family (you'd miss dh too I guess?) and can give them very focussed attention then. Once this very short time is over you'll have a better job and better working circumstances. Plus, at 12 she is not so happy to see you anyway.

I’m a full time WOHM while DH is a full time parent. I actually did this for over a year when DCs were young. I would leave on Tuesday 6am and get back friday mornings. It wasn’t great from a family perspective, but ultimately it was a short period of time and totally worthwhile as it launched my career to another level. It’s really hard to make decisions as a WOHM but your child will be grown soon and you’ll have more time for your career. Mine is important to me as I get so bored being a parent. Good luck!

I would love the option to work from home down the road so would probably do it, however, I traveled about once a month for 3 days for a few years and I absolutely hated it. It made me very depressed And cranky. Knowing that it is temporary might alleviate those feelinga though. Good luck!!

I would do it. 6 months will fly by, and the rewards last for the rest of your career and into retirement. You have a 12 yo and family help. Everyone will be fine.

Nope

I wouldn’t But that’s just my personal preference. I wouldn’t want to miss my kids - I already work hard and think I never see them enough, but maybe WFH option afterwards would make it worth it? IDK. Anyway, there is no way that I would travel during the pandemic, but that’s also a personal choice. I think you have to decide these two things by yourself or maybe with DH. I don’t think you should take my or someone else’s opinion here.

If You have help and DH is with your child then I don't see why you shouldn't take this on. It's less than a year and it will help your career long-term.

With one 12 year old child, absolutely.

Interesting to me that there are still (post covid) jobs where you need to train in person for that long. There are circumstances where I would consider this, 6 months is not that long in the scheme of things.

If you have kids, then no. That's a long time to be away.
