I am an expat leaving in dubai for more than 7 years now. Since the time i've left my country i have had just a few time of my vacation and i did really enjoy it. Spending with my family is really most enjoyable but then when i come back to dubai i found out that leaving outside of your country working for your family and your future doesnt mean that you are just looking after it. When you you missed your homeland isnt you will feel something very touching moments to go back home and spend your time to where you came from? What do you think about it?

I'm working here in Kuwait for about 8 months now and I've brought my wife and my son here with me.
Why? that is because of your question in this discussion. "Is it really difficult to spend your time out of your family working abroad?".. the answer is a big "YES". We can't rewind the moments that we are supposed to be with our family.. and the loneliness in one room, working thinking of all you loved ones in your native land is reallllllyyyy.... a sacrifice.

Bringing your family on where you are outside your nativeland to where you worked is optional; Yes to avoid the anciety there is a way but how about those whose income is just enough to provide the needs of their family? That is how sacrifices being made! To forget the sadness and face the reality of how our family survive.

Homesickness is normally felt by people who are away from their homeland. Even if you have your family with you there, you will still look forward to visiting homeland once in a while. Now, you feel that that vacation should never had ended. But you feel the responsibility to your family and your work, so you are back to Dubai. Then you will look forward to that next vacation time. 'May it come sooner than I think,' you'd say. Yes, friend, it will come sooner than you think considering how time flies these days. Good luck in your job, stay healthy, and come home healthy to your family next vacation time.
