As soon as I read this it makes me to remember my school days. Because there is a story titled 'The romance of busy broker' where the one character forget his wife. In one way its really funny that you forgot your wife and kids also but in one way I really appreciated you that you are a really hardworking man, earning for your family. You need them too right? So reduce little of your work and speed some time with them. Take care.

Dont feel sad. Maybe you are just busy because you are also doing those things for them. Anyway, maybe when you're not busy anymore then you think about them again. At least you still have them in your mind and that you are being busy for them and not for somebody else. Just try spending time with them everyday at least an hour or two and more time during the weekend. Dont forget that family still come first rather than anything else.

Hi tedifa; In some ways I can totally relate to your situation and how it must leave you feeling. Let me guess, you are in a technical job? I was, once, for five years. I missed birthdays, Christmas and all sorts of other important functions with family as friends as well. The truth is, is that that second that just went by, that minute, hour, day, week, month.. We can Never get that time back. Precious precious time. Moments that are priceless, times we need to share with our loved ones. Even if it is only for an hour or even a half an hour. I can understand how your family needs you but you also need to work to make more money, in turn, for your family, as well. This is a tough situation. I suppose if I knew more about the type of work that you did, so to give me an idea of the sort of hours that you work, would be enough for me to give you some sound advice. For now, may I suggest that even a five minute phone call, once or twice a day to say hi and to tell you family how much that you love them, can make a big impact. Maybe call the kids just before they go to bed to say Good Night. Perhaps call your wife, out of the blue just to tell her how you appreciate her and love her. Surely you must have to stop to eat lunch and or dinner. Why not arrange for your wife to join you. Once a month even? Take at least one day a week to spend with your family. Give your wife a break of looking after the kids once or twice a month. Mind the children while you wife enjoys a luxurious bubble bath or takes an afternoon to spend with her friends and or family. Bring home some flowers for your wife once in a while. Even if they are a wild flower bouquet that you have picked yourself. Find ways to cut costs at home so to be able to wearrant taking an extra day off, away from work once a month or so. Spend that extra free time with family. Budget so to free yourself up a bit so that you can focus on the family more. Never miss a birthday. Work will always be there but once that special time in a child;s life is gone, it is gone for good. Your being there will help mold a memorable experience. Time Out, for yourself but for your family. Hope this helps.

Ha ha. I am sorry, I just can't give the answer to this discussion in a way you want. It's very strange to know that you forget you wife while working. We need to balance our life between a work and family. Almost everyone in the world has the same problem. They are not able to give time to their family. We go office, work hard for them and come home with head dropping because of tiredness. I would suggest you to spend some time with your family members when you reach home and go for outing with your families when you have off days. In office, try to call your wife at least once in a day.
