There are days when I can not come home due to unscheduled events and it nothing burns the brain more than : "Daddy, come home".oshea12566http://www.oshea12566.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339999773185154576.post-65875980824388693022009-05-03T19:30:00.000-07:002009-05-03T19:30:00.000-07:00Great thoughts.

Fortunately they recharge pretty quickly.<br /><br />@Otter: I hear you, both about work and travel. However, don't forget you're teaching your son a valuable lesson about work ethic and that work is important.<br /><br />@Aunt-E: I know it's a hard transition, but you guys will strike a balance. Just like I told Otter, it's important to set an example for our kids regarding work. Your work will no doubt go a long way to positively shape Little Cousin's attitudes towards women.<br /><br />@Liz: Yep, I think that many dads feel these longings, we just don't often express them. Quality time is important. Work sets a good example for our kids. <br /><br />@SMD: I'm envious of the nature of your company. That sounds like a great arrangement.Busy-Dad-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830833149651039875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339999773185154576.post-4027108333185472012009-04-21T22:17:00.000-07:002009-04-21T22:17:00.000-07:00I hear ya, Busy-Dad-E.

We have a play room for the kids so that they can hang out at work with us and we do a lot of family things as a company. I couldn't work for a more family friendly company, and, knock on wood, I still have a job. :)Super Mega Dadhttp://www.supermegadad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339999773185154576.post-53585746201450441742009-04-21T10:36:00.000-07:002009-04-21T10:36:00.000-07:00It's good to know that Dads feel the same longings...It's good to know that Dads feel the same longings as Moms. I hate being away from kids during the work week... only having wake up, dinner, and bedtime with them and very little playtime. But I figure I can spend my energy wishing for things to be different or I can make sure the time we have is good (hence some of ramblings on my blog today).Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339999773185154576.post-87256836436178808422009-04-20T19:15:00.000-07:002009-04-20T19:15:00.000-07:00Oh this makes me sad...I return to work from mater...Oh this makes me sad...I return to work from maternity leave next friday. :( Aunt-EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339999773185154576.post-29051609447817808022009-04-20T13:10:00.000-07:002009-04-20T13:10:00.000-07:00I miss my son every day when I work.

Now that I am a stay at home mom I appreciate the time that I have with them, but have also realized that its important to have those moments away from the kids. You come back to them more refreshed and energetic to see them again. This is a lesson I still have a hard time performing because I feel guilty leaving them with a babysitter. Its always a juggling act with parenthood and work. RosiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
