I am proud to say that i am a mother, at age of 22 i achieved the essence of a woman as a mother. And now i'm raising my two kids,i have a baby boy and a baby girl. It's really hard to raised my kids all by myself because my husband is too far from us.He is working abroad,and i'm pity for my kids because as a mother i know and i feel that my kids are longing for their father's presence. Then there was a time comes that God gave us a trial,one of my baby is having a hydrocyphallos that was the time that i feel so pity for my baby but still i'm holding on and have faith in God always.And now i am thankful because everything is doing good because after the operation my baby is doing well.Being a mother is just not simple you have to be patience and calm..And now i don't know what i must going to do My husband wants me to be there also in abroad,he wants me to be with him but i am worried about my kids,what should i do?Any advice?

A family is called a family for a reason. Perhaps you and your children should all move to where your husband is. I can see nothing but a lot of benefit from doing something like this. Your children will have the opportunity to experience a different culture while they are young. They will have the opportunity to know their father and your family will all be able to be together. If that isn't possible, then I don't think it would be possible to go be with your husband because I know as a mother that there is no way I would be able to leave my children behind.

I have often wondered how one parent can raise a family. My children are raised now and my husband now flies a lot for his company. It's still hard for me back home. I wish you much success and happiness.

I think you should take both your kids and move to the new home.... or don't think just do it ^^

hi balabajearlene
why you don't take the childern with you and travel to your husband
or at least to ask him to work in the same country you are in if he is a worker ?
you need to discuss this problem with your husband because these childern is not yours only . both of you sharing them.

I suggest you bring along your two kids abroad. Not just you, you already feel how they missed their father, just imagine what they will feel if you leave them too? It's very important that parents are beside their children while they are growing. There are just cases, a parent needs to sacrifice by working abroad. In able for him to provide the needs of his family;)
