[quote=Anonymous]We travel a lot, or people seem to think we do. Not internationally but we are on the go a lot and we have two little kids.

Honestly it just comes down to doing it. You do it knowing that some flights are going to suck, some days are going to be hard, things might need to be adjusted on the fly. And the more you do it the better the kids are at it and the easier it gets.

Money is an issue, we traveled way too much last year and with the kids realized we had over extended and pulled back a lot this year. But there is a lot you can do that isn't THAT expensive. Day trips and weekends and staying with family kind of stuff. We NEVER say no to something that is somewhat subsidized because a group of family is doing it together.

For us the hard days are outweighed by the good ones.

We have a good social life because we are always willing to take the kids for the night so the other can do something. So DH has a sports team he practices with twice a week for about six months of the year with games on the weekends and I have dinners out with friends etc. And we have a date night built into our nanny contract so we go out with each other every other week.

Basically if you set your life up to prioritize those things you can do it but it has to be built into the structure of your routine. [/quote]
