Lots of people travel for work. Not that new. And would be more efficient and sustainable in the long run to have dad not running himself ragged doing 15 hours of travel a week.

If they could afford a nanny maybe? I’m assuming OP isn’t rich and that their partner isn’t a stay at home parent. I don’t think it’s fair that the other parent should run themselves ragged for an ENTIRE WEEK instead.

Such a weird take. Lots of people travel for work or have to be gone for awhile. And people make do. There’s also something called single parents. If OP is making a large chunk more money it could be super helpful for the family financially. Daddy being gone 3 - 4 nights a month is very doable if the financial reward is worth it.
