Another blog?
Yes another one and, to be honest, my story is not much different to anyone else’s. I’m a wife and mother to three beautiful boys. Fairly normal with the exception that my husband is home from work every second month. We are a FIFO family or in lamens terms a fly in fly out family.
As a family, we have worked this way for six years (we do four weeks on four weeks off), as a couple almost twenty years. It’s great when it is great and crazy when it is crazy.
I love the life it gives us, but you are either made for it or not and that goes for your husband too. To not be is okay. It will either tear you apart or bring you closer together, for me it been the latter and I’m so grateful. I don’t say I’m lucky because I don’t believe in luck its hard work that’s all and I have been on that edge and it’s hard to crawl back from.
I can’t tell you now that this blog doesn’t guarantee to be pretty or paint a picture that this lifestyle is anything but hard work; nothing that’s worth anything is easy, and so in reality this blog is for all the other FIFO wives and mothers who sometimes question themselves and what they are doing..a blog of thriving, living, and relishing every moment written by someone who’s been there and doing that.
Welcome.
