The article is about developing a stable balance between family, work and side projects- how does monthly visits to your son create as a good balance? It sounds more like a temporarily tolerated situation rather than something feasible (or desireable) long term.
- ThomPete 14y agoThis is long term and this is the only way to combine two people with equal ambitions and unfortunately opportunities on two different continents. Before that (up until a month ago) I was with them every day. My point is that unless your spouse is in on it then it's never going to work.
- overgryphon 14y agoI'm sorry to pry, I'm just curious- Why would you choose opportunities on the other side of the world over being with your family?
- ThomPete 14y agoSure :) Because they are good opportunities. Because I have lived here over the years (before I met my gf and got my son) and have large parts of my friends here. Because my gf have a job she really loves and didn't want to move with me right away (but maybe later) Because sometimes you have to think strategic about your families future. (of course with the danger of destroying the very family you are trying to create) What can I say. Life's complicated :)
