Yup, mom of three and proud of it SkyHigh. I've been a stay at home mom raising them for years, and now that they are older, why should I be at home picking my nose instead of doing something I love? They are well taken care of and loved, and if i'm not here with them, their dad is. Not a bad situation at all. I was a flight attendant until I had #2 and it worked out beautifully.

I appreciate your post and see where you are coming from, but like you said, you don't know me, my circumstances or my kids - so you really can't judge. Peace out brutha.

We all make choices in life. With each one others are crossed off as opportunity costs. You left behind the right to be able to have a flying career years ago. Even fathers of young children should not consider starting a flying career. It is irresponsible at best and outright family abandonment at worst.

I don't know you or what your actual job is. Perhaps you are a dispatcher, however for your families sake I pray that you are not a pilot. Sometimes I think people take on aviation as a passive aggressive way to shed unwanted friends, spouses and family.

All of us need to be Mom's and Dad's first of all!
