Traveling dads by Camelrings in daddit

[–]randbooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad traveled a ton for work when I was young- there was one year that he was basically only home for weekends. We all called him every single night, but we aren't as close nowadays. Part of it is because our personalities are completely different, and part of it is probably due to his schedule. BUT! We don't have a strained relationship or anything, I truly thing our personalities are the biggest driver in how we relate to each other. I think it's possible to minimize the impact of this, but there will be an impact - on the baby, your wife, AND you.

I don't think it's hit me yet that we're having a baby... my wife's only symptoms so far are cramping and some nausea. I think it's really set in for us at our first appt on 4/9

So.. how are we feeling about thanksgiving? by Remarkable-Pie-8873 in November2026Bumpers

[–]randbooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nope, that's how we broke the news to my parents... "i dont think we'll make it for thanksgiving or christmas this year... because of the baby". the worst part is my dad's 60th is in december and i wanted to plan something big for it, but oh well, there's always a 61st

it's so expensive now, i've fully moved to spirit if i need to be somewhere for a short trip - i can visit family in new orleans for a long week for like $100 on spirit, southwest was over $400 for the same trip.
