And it's not like you can move a newborn to a new city. You can't take them on an airplane at this age.
I didn't buy the idea that Jaromes wife and his older kids couldn't adapt to a 3 month vacation in Boston or LA. But a newborn? Yeah, I hear ya Kipper.

I have worked on a rotational schedule for most of my 4 childrens lives so I do understand 100% the situation of missing stuff as kids grow. Perhaps that makes me less sympathetic since myself and many others I know have done similar things for longer times with a lot less to gain.
