I've got a wife and 3 kids, hired out 3 yrs ago. You ask how do I deal with being away from my children? In my first year, when I was cut off for 6 months from my home terminal, I packed my bags and hit the boomer trail along with another unfortunate buddy. It helped financially and socially to have a friend to share the misery, and we both came home a.s.a.p. That was the worst time in my life to date...I hated being so far away from my wife and kids. Since then, the economy picked up, giving me another problem. Being able to work my home terminal, but working non-stop. How do I cope now? I make sure that when I'm home, my schedule is CLEAR for family. I don't schedule much "self" time anymore, but I find that I miss my wife and kids so much that when I'm home I really prefer to spend time with them instead of all kinds of other diversions. And I don't hesitate to lay off when they need me. To sum it up, the rr business is not "family friendly," but you can make it work if you decide to and are aggressive about taking charge of your life and schedule.
