 thing is though he sees his two kids a few weeks a year and don't do f all with them, been working away about 5 years now. I feel sorry for him if he thinks that's living. 

thats the downside,saying that ive done so much call over the years i might as well have been working away,chasing the money is fine at the time,in hindsight i wouldnt do it again

The lure of money and finacial security is a hard thing to pass up, luckily for me I've grown up in a county that pays **** money anyway so the temptation isn't so great lol

I think you/Norm are spot on there.

 

my youngest (3) loves what I do and is in to the van/tools ladders ect, hoping he still wants to hang out and work with his dad after he leaves school, that would be really cool

I used to work for a void property security company making £800 a week working away in Northern Ireland. Jacked it in after my daughter turned 2 as there was to much threats etc entering different areas and the things I saw were brutal. 

Its funny how your life changes when you have a family.
