I can drive to work. I can also make two weeks off happen without vacay if I need it. Two weeks gone might be OK with older kids (who can drive themselves), but for younger ones it's hard on them, and also on a working spouse who has to suck it up and handle everything. My wife can usually punt a lot of things for a few days until I get home.
No kids and no spouse (or an independent one), then two weeks on, two off wouldn't be bad at all.
