We always must choose humans, spiritual gifts like love, happiness over material, earthly stuff. Materialism is not what brings us happiness. But if one is too greedy there's nothing we can do because if we ask of this person to be more spiritual nothing can change but their own. But people can find balance between the two, if they analyze their actions it's easy to come back to neutral all the time they are going too much in only one direction like too much work or too lazy and trying only to stay with family.

I know what you mean you will miss your wife , that is understandable . I would not want to be apart from my family for that long . I think its best for her to maybe study online , that way you all win .

career is first. of course we may live away from family for few days or years. but later everything is happy... so career is the best choice. but have to consider the family situation also.

Such a tough issue to tackle. But I think, if you lay your cards on the table, talk to your wife. Everything can be fix through a wise deliberation, I believe. You will know whats best for you and for your family. If it will be possible, I would choose both, for we can be at the same situation if we want to. Spending our time enriching our career while taking care our family. As couples, we have also separate goals and aspirations, that's why it really pays to handle. Time is of the essence really. Good luck and thanks

Both, you can not survive without money. You can not even work inspired if you don't have support system from the family.

Good day Rohitt03011979, With reference to your main topic, well, I remember before when I always does a favor for my family. Before, I used to choose my family on any other else. Since for me, I am working because it is for my family. But now, everything has been changed. For a much heavy reason, I would rather choose career now rather than my family. But, in your situation. perhaps, try to weight the situations, since you do not have the financial problem as what you have posted, then, go on a decision wherein your family will be benefited much. I do hope you can come up in a decision where it will be beneficial for you and your family as well.

Rohitt You are facing situation similar to what i faced 30/25 years ago. nowadays two people have to earn money to make both ends meet. if woman is not earning she feels bad and she needs encouragement all along -- with negative comments from others. Child upkeep is more important than education. Separation of husband and wife at this age is not advisable-- you will not get this age again - further it may lead to other problems. my suggestion -- let her study from the place where you are residing -- if possible you shift residence to a bigger city.

You can get an online tutor.First let me know which subject she need a tutor.Almost all subjects you can get an online tutor.Since your daughter,is only three year old let her join a play school for six months,that is till the next academic year starts in June.If she want to engage a tutor then six months is a short period,and you can visit her over the weekend,The child can also attend a play school near her home also.Do not miss opportunity for studies when you are young.
