How do you handle Family life with a surgeon?
My husband and I are married for 8 years now, we have two kids. For the longest time I was expecting my husbands career (Trauma surgeon and orthopedic) to get „better“ in the sense of „he‘ll be around more often soon“. I start to realize now it just won‘t happen. I have my own career and I am handling everything regarding the Kids. He loves us, but he just isn‘t around much (Weekends alone, holidays alone etc). How did you come to terms with that fact? I always imagined family life so different from the way it is now. Sorry for my English, not my first language. Thanks for any advice.
