Does overnight stays get easier?
My bf of 5 years is a CFI/CFII with 700 hours so he’s working 7 days a week and only takes a day off if we have an event to go to or half day because of weather or something. So he’s always not home and when he’s home he’s so checked out and just wants to rest. He’s working really hard for our little family to move on to the next step. We have two daughters (4&1) which i stay home with. His CFI job now requires him to fly and stay in a hotel for student check rides sometimes for dodging bad weather or if a student has a super early test because the examiner is (3 hr away car Distance) but his job will tell him super last min that he has take a student so On a whim he’s not coming home and has to be gone. But man it’s so mentally hard. Like tonight: he was supposed to be off at 8pm and texted me around 3 saying he has to go fly a student there so daddy isn’t coming home to his girls and now and when he flys back tomorrow morning he has a full day of work so won’t see him till night. He knows how hard it is on us and that’s why he’s so focused on trying to get a jet job of some sort to give our family more stability but man I feel like I’m in the trenches holding it all together. But i also can’t help but feel like man i wish he could get a pilot job where he’s home every night, but that’s so rare… do you ladies have any tips or does layovers etc get easier? 😭
