It’s not easy. I work my ass off to cover all my work during the week so I can completely shut down on the weekend. Then, I pay for as much housekeeping support as I can afford so that my wife and I are as free as possible to spend time together and with our kids.
It’s been working well for us. I love my work and she loves that we can afford for her to stay home.
FaceTime or video conference is a blast for them. It's also fun to leave a note or surprise somewhere around where they won't find it until a day or two into your trip. Or send something in the mail when you arrive. Text with them, even kids who arent yet writing love emojis - 💖🙊🦄.
If they are in school, see if teachers use ClassDojo or other similar apps to share class info or pictures. Help with homework over the phone or again, video conference.
It's great to be right there, but it's also great to build solid ties through communication - one day they'll leave home and you'll have patterns there that will last a lifetime.
I’ve worked in industry and given that I used to get home late, stressed from a commute, stressed in general, and sometimes had to work, I don’t know that I got much more quality time than now when I travel m-th.
Don’t do it. There’s not substitute for time together
@Huron1 Discussing that with my wife now. I have a lucrative industry offer on the table and we’ve both realized that I’d be waking up at 5:30am and getting home at 8:00pm, not much different...
So, it’s different. Being home counts for a lot. I can’t argue that being in bed with your wife at night isn’t worth something. It’s worth a lot.
It’s all about whether the job will allow you to emotionally take advantage of being home. I didn’t feel like I was able to when I wasn’t traveling.
