Will Parents Be Forgotten?
Hubby is pretty close to the kids and if he’s away on business trips, he will make it up to them by spending some quality time doing something fun with the children. I won’t join in the gang if they are going to the park as it’s part of their daddy and children moments which they enjoy a lot without mommy’s company. I’m with my kids most of the time, so it’s nice to have a break from mothering too. 
Nonetheless, I feel that hubby is exaggerating about how the kids will “forget” or not being close to him if he’s away for more than 2 weeks. I don’t think children will forget parents easily since they are not babies anymore. Most probably, they will miss their parents and might even cry for months looking for them. Besides that, we can always call or talk to the kids via webcam, so they can still be connecting to us, even if they might be crying on the other side of the line. Gee…
So, now you got it. Hubby and I are not bring the children along on the next trip to Bangkok. There are so much to do and it’s best to leave them with my parents again after some consideration. Furthermore, they will be coming with us shortly after if we manage to set up a home there as soon as possible. Hopefully, the kids can understand why we are doing this instead of thinking mommy and daddy “dump” them behind again. Sigh…
