Career Change at 48 - Advice appreciated

Well if she does then it would only be a matter of time before something else would have make her want to leave.

 

I dunno. If you've ever cared for a baby or two, you know that there are NOT many things that come close to being that trying. I did it and I wouldn't want to do it on my own, no way, and I can't see a woman wanting to do it solo either. There aren't many things as stressful as caring for a baby and quite a few relationships don't survive the children.

Just saying.
If people think being apart for the trucking lifestyle is difficult, just add a kid -- and a baby at that -- for an additional magnitude of difficulty. Not something I'd do, but that's just me.

 

you are right but that is where our society has gotten to today, it is easy to run home to mamma and daddy or to someone convenient than it is to stay true to a commitment and make things work. It is also just as hard to not be home with your family. I have lived this in my military career and my professional career, I lost my first family because of being deployed all the time but my wife now of 21 years understands what it means to make a commitment. I am still gone quite a bit now but when I am home we both enjoy each other and our 5 soon to be 6 grandkids. People want to live for today not tomorrow that's why we as a nation are so screwed up.
