[quote=Anonymous]My husband did this on his own when our kids were small and not only has it not borne any of the heavily hinted at fruits from his company (promotion, major raise, etc.), he realized when our eldest son was 8 that he didn't even know him. Their relationship has yet to recover, and DS is 12 now. I was a single mom for three years, raising two kids while working and fighting cancer. That took its toll on our relationship. I got used to being on my own and distance was created. I'm proud of him for getting the degree, but it wasn't good for our family, at least it hasn't been so far, four years after he finished it. You've done damage. To fix it, you need to be there for them and give them help on THEIR terms, not yours. They may not want you to babysit - he sees the kids so little as it is. I bet they'd love a cleaning service or a meal service, though. [/quote]
