I don't think that going into partnership is a bad idea. Especially when you have a young family - it would be great to have somebody to cover for you when your kids are sick or for a holiday etc.

But like you said, could be hard to find the right person.......good luck, what an awesome decision. I'd love to do something like that (hate being bossed around too!) but not sure I'd have what it takes.........good on you!
