The upsides to a traveling spouse are lots of frequent flyer miles and fun tag-along trips but I am not sure those outweigh the very sad kids every time daddy leaves on a trip. Through trial and error we have worked out a few things that help. He leave each girl one of his favorite t-shirts that they sleep in or suggle with every night. He sends pictures from the road and calls frequently. And he never goes on a trip without explaining to everyone when he leaves, where he is going and when he will be back.
I know there are a lots of families that deal with traveling spouses/parents – my question for you: What are your tips and tricks for helping kids deal with a traveling spouse?
