re: OT dads with small kids and a job that travels, how do you like it?

I grew up with a dad that didn’t work. Lazy POS that sat at home and waited till we all got home so he could control us.
I work offshore because that’s how I can make as much money as possible. It’s all I care about. I’ve missed all kinds of shite and i don’t care.

I am also a piece of shite.

How many kids do you have? How old?

Look, I respect a working man. We all make sacrifices for our families. Lord knows I have. I missed so much I wish I could get back now…and if I could go back and tell the old me “the money you’ll make isn’t worth the time you’ll miss”.

It cost me my marriage. Cost me time with my kids.

All the money I made wasn’t worth the price I paid, looking back.
