What can you say about those family in which the mother is working Overseas while the Husbands are the ones taking care of their Children, Do you think its helpful, what are the risks? If you're to be ask, would you like to sacrifice your own family away from you, to look for a greener pasture in other land? Just need some opinions here... thank you so much!

Hi aj2006. I'm thinking. You're a Filipino right. Anyways, regarding your post, all I can say is that there is nothing wrong with that as long as you trust each other. Cause if you do, then no matter the distance that divided you, the love that the two of have will never falter or fade. And for the husband, I just hope that he will contented with his wife and just take good care of the kids and focus his attention to the kids so that he will not be tempted to find someone else to fulfill his desires. I know that it might be a lot to ask to the husbands but if some things came up that you really need to fulfill your desires, just watch some titillating films and fulfill your needs. I assure you, after that, you won't find anyone to fulfill your needs cause you'll be tired and will most probably just sleep.
Just be faithful. That's all.

thanks for your response and I believe that my discussion is reality to most of our overseas workers nowadays. As a family oriented individual, we Filipinos, has a strong definition of a family. But due to unavoidable circumstances in our lives, we decide to take risks.. well, with strong faith in the LOrd and of coursse with open communication to our family..nothing's impossible.. You're absolutely right.. Faith is a must! :)

That is totally true. If only people are faithful, then no matter how far your love is, there wouldn't be any problem specially with the type of modern communications that we have right now. If you miss your love, talk to her/him in your cellular phone, make a long distance call, email, or chat with video... Communication is not a problem these days.

Wow.....I usually here that husbands are working overseas and the wife has the kids. But in either way I see it as if it helps and benefits them to make that sacrifice they should come that agreement. However, it will be difficult since both will not see each other for a while. This is where trust and faith come into action when both are separate. Will the husband stay faithful as well with the wife? No telling! It is up to them if they choose to create a bad karma or not. I just hope it will help them financially along with the woman going overseas. Very tough decision indeed!

I still think that is is better for the family to be whole. Yes, there may be many opportunities overseas but the effect that the separation will have to the kids and the husband can't be repaid by the money that can be earned abroad. I would recommend going abroad for those who are single, but those who already has a family here, they should just try to look for opportunities that will not sacrifice their family life. Sacrifices has to be made but choose careful what those sacrifices should be. Imagine the effect on a child growing up without motherly love and nurturing. Husbands are not made to care for the kids, no matter how good they are with kids, they can never replace a mother's presence in the life of the children

I think it depends on the family. There are many women in the military that goes overseas and has to leave their husbands and children behind. It's a tough thing to do. I myself couldn't do it.

I really admire those women who are in the military. It just shows that women are not only "soft" but they can also be "hard" and can stand on their own. Specially the women nowadays, they are not anymore the princesses that needs to be rescued from a fire-breathing dragons. They can also stand on their own and fight the fire-breathing dragon.
That is why I adore women.

I would also like to add that infidelity is not only higher for the one who left to go abroad. It is true on both parties.

Long distance relationship, for me, is the major cause of broken family. Being away from your family and suffering the loneliness and homesickness in a foreign country drives an individual to be unfaithful. I am not saying that it is true to all situations as it still depends on the individual. But being away adds a lot to the possibility.
My husband and I are both in IT field. We do have plans to look for greener pasture abroad. But the whole family will relocate should it happens. Life is short and we don't want to waste the time of not being together.
