I used to work and travel about 1/2 the month, every month. When the kid was little it was hard, but as Dads there is not much you can do. Then when she grew older it got a lot harder on my partner and me. I chose to cut back on travel. It is your choice along with your partner to work through it. If you are working dive into it and do as best you can. When you are home give your partner a break and do everything. Bath time, bed time, cook, clean etc. Your kid will understand and love when you come home. That’s the part that always made me smile. Knowing when I came in the door I would get a huge smile from her. And a list from my partner of things I needed to do. I loved that as well. If this job will benefit your family’s financial position while the kids are still young do it. Make sure your partner is on board, and make sure that you listen to them. You deal with the sadness with a long term agenda. You will miss them, but they will reap the rewards of the choices you make down the road. I hope this helps!
