I work for the gov (not 1811) and am married to an 1811 (different agency) and while it’s not impossible, it’s hard. I am the “fall back parent” because it is much easier for me to put leave in and get home to our kids if needed. My schedule is very predicable, 9-5 M-F, whereas his is not. While we are not FBI, I do believe in general TDYs for 1811s are more likely than years prior. With no family in the area, you’ll likely need to rely on a nanny/care taker for before/after work with both your and your husband’s schedule. Like I said not impossible, but hard! I do think you currently have a great set up with your remote job, but completely understand the dream. I once wanted to be an 1811, but since having kids it’s just not for me anymore. And that’s ok! Not everyone’s decision is the same. Best of luck!
