There are tens of thousands of military familes who deal with this daily. Other professionals (even construction company personnel) travel away from home frequently. It's enhances airline income. Most of them would probably prefer to have a home life like yours but make sacrifices to be in a different profession.
Doing so does not make them "lesser" parents or spouses.
You feel your family lifestyle is "best" for your family and deserve credit for providing it. Please give credit to those of us who are different.
My perspective is for those who have an interest in obtaining a standard middle class life one day. My posts assume that most appreciate time at home, middle class or better financial benefits and a normal social life. I understand that many here prefer a studio apartment in the ghetto and have no friends outside of the EAA and I am sure that they are very happy and satisfied however others have different expectations and it is to them that I post.
