no disrespect taken mate, what your saying is 100% right and its stuff me and the missus speak about. this is a quick repair i will be home in 4 or 5 days. as you know this kind of life is a double edged sword. u say no to many times and someone else slips into your position.. you say yes to many times and ur family slips away from you.
we have spoken about this as we have another baby on the way and decided that i will take every job for the next 9months and then have the time at home when the bub is born. then who knws i may stay home for 12 months and work local like i did when my first bub was born
i appreciate your advice and exprience. thank you
