My wife has recently applied for job which is in different location, and she has to go there for some time.
And she is preparing for me to take care of kids when she is not here. though chances of her getting that job is fifty fifty I can see in her eyes that she is doing it unwillingly.
I understand her pain but this is for good of entire family as after 2-3 months we will be in a position to either entire family shifting there or she be transferred here.
some time bound separation is norms of job culture.
But mother is mother..she never want to see her kids living without her, any views?

we had same situation earllier, when my sister in law was gone to do B.ed in some other city, only difference is that, my mom was with us then. Now I have to look for my kids by my own.

I don't know. It seems 2-3 months is not a very long time. But considering that she is away from home and her children, it is harder and suffering. And are you sure you can handle all of these by yourself? Taking care of the children is not easy, and especially you have to count on yourself only. If possible, it is better that all of you stay in the same location.

Oh dear so sorry to hear this...and I hope everything will work in your favor..all of you.
I sometimes wonder why it has to be so difficult for good parents. I know you both want the best for your children.
Blessings on you.

Why she needs to go far away? Is there no vacant jobs for her in your town.
