Default Those with kids, would you apply for this type of job?

I have an opportunity to apply for a job that would give me a 50% pay increase if I was hired. Only problem is it's travel half the year. I currently only have my daughter half the time, but my schedule is such that I normally see her every two or three days. The job requires 6 days away from home, then home for 8, then away 6, etc. I'm not sure I could handle that type of a schedule, as I really enjoy spending time with my little girl. Personally, if my daughter wasn't in the picture, I'd be all over this job. However, that's not the case. So, those of you that are parents, what are your thoughts? Could you spend that much time away from your kids?

Also, I don't really NEED that big of a pay bump, but it sure would be nice. If I stay at my current job, it's possible I could get a 20% payraise within 3 years, then the remainder in another 3 or so years.
