[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have demanding jobs but in different ways. He goes into the office during the week but travels only domestically for one night at a time (some times doesn't even stay the night). For me, I work from home but have to travel internationally when needed. I'm typically gone for a week at a time since I go to Africa, Asia or Europe. For the things you listed, my husband and I like to have at least one parent there at doctor appointments, recitals, etc. We've sacrificed things in our career to make that possible but that was a choice we made. We do plenty of things that make us "bad parents" in other respects -- screen time, meals in front of the TV when we have to work, etc. I've learned that with parenting, outside of abuse, there is really so much gray. We're all trying to do our best and that's ok. [/quote]
