AITAH for traveling for work with a 1 year old at home

Hi everybody, could really use some perspective here but my job requires me to travel pretty much every week. I’ve been doing this job even before I met my spouse and we had a child who is now one. My spouse goes into a fit of rage every time I leave the house for work. I’ve tried modified travel weeks, like leaving Monday nights vs Monday mornings and returning Wednesday vs Thursday. Our child is in daycare but I also hired nanny support for after daycare help and activities. When I’m home (fridays - mondays) I assume responsibilities of our child but even that doesn’t seem to be enough….

I’ve even started looking for roles remote (currently interviewing) knowing I’ll probably take a pay cut.

I don’t know what else to do but everything I do just doesn’t seem to be enough. I also support our family financially (wife works and has a good job, she just has poor spending habits).

but it’s gotten to the point where I’m looking for new jobs to allow me to be remote. So AITAH or am I just in a super sh*tty situation?
