Default Re: How do you Parent Pilots do it?

Was really easy! I left the airlines and found a job where I could still fly, but would be home in time for dinner most nights.

<grin> I know that's not what you had in mind but I wish you luck nonetheless. The first three months with our little one was the most stressful time in my marriage. But after three months it strengthened our family more than you could imagine. Every hour I spend away from home is spent looking forward to getting back to my wife and son.

I am glad I no longer do 3 or 4 day trips. I would have hated to miss all of those milestones. First time he rolled over... first time he said "dada"... first steps... first time he ate peas... and so very many more.

Good luck!
