I used too go 4/10 wks a time when my first was born,home for a few days back to it.... he was 2lb 7 ozs and in a baby unit for first few months, used to kill me mate to be fair, leaving them, alot of stress on the mrs and our relationship , my daughter was born 2 yrs later, lasted a few months and jacked, you miss the money but no amount can make up for lost time with them when they are that young, they change daily and i do regret missing out on my eldest, something ive tried to make for up ever since with the other2thats why hes like my shadowyour lads a little older but its still hard, my dad worked away when we was growing up, always had what we wanted but there was no discipline, we used to run my old girl raggedwe do what we have to do mate, until things need to changethese days you got video calls, skype etc so can keep in touch alot easier.

socks 32,253 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 22 years in the army and I was only home a handful of times over Christmas missed most of their birthdays and my missus pretty much brought the kids up on her own but it's a choice you make and live with ... one thing I have said recently is that when I become a grandfather I will spoil each and every one of them ....... 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
South hams hunter 8,862 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Good luck GB I earn 150 a day sat on my ass talking to people and can earn 600 a month commission if I can be bothered. Do 7 days out of 14, so get plenty of time with the kids and the option to top my wages up with ragging, lugging or crabbing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,326 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Lots of talk about money for sure..but in certain parts of the country (down here being one of them).. they are building houses quicker than they can fill em.. this leads to shortage of skilled labour, brickies particularly are having the best time of it that I can remember, they can demand the rates as the developers are desperate to.keep.developing (low interest rates, over population, lack of first time house..loads of reasons why big developers are cashing in)...a decent labourer keeping 3 brickies going will certainly be on good money...but god knows finding a decent labourer is hard, 2 weeks of money and they're on the piss and shoving it up their nose like millionaires lol... Like I said before, it's a decent bubble but that's all it is, I'm only 20 odd years in construction (set up on my own in 98, laboured and learnt my trade before that)..but it's as good as I remember it...my old man talks about the 80s and good times.. but then the big recession hit, end 80s early 90s and constructuon/building work is the first to get smashed.... Get your fingers in a few pies if you are earning a bit, invest well and it could drag you through when it gets shitty again...well here's hoping.lol Edited August 14, 2018 by NEWKID Quote Link to post Share on other sites
