[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father had a long term consulting contract in another state when I was in elementary school. A few takes:

My mom, a lovely person, was not strict on discipline. When my dad was away, we could eat more adventurous meals, watch more TV, and relax more. When he was at home, it felt a bit more tense. This scenario is specific to their personalities, but I definitely had the sense of living under two different rule sets. It's important to be mindful of that fact.

My dad was outgoing, didn't like staying at his apartment alone. He ended up meeting someone else. My parents separated then got back together years later. How does your husband imagine spending his free time?

I have to admit feeling a bit abandoned at times. My mom needed her downtime. Weekends were more about my dad is here we should do something with him since he was gone most of the week. It felt a bit forced. What kind of support do the kids need?

Each personality is different. Just some questions to consider.[/quote]

Op, this is a really interesting perspective. Hope you read it closely.[/quote]
