Again, everyone probably wishes they could be home with their family, and everyone has good reasons why in their specific case, it's important to them. They're not using it as an excuse to leave, because you just don't walk out on your teammates.
What the hell does this mean, to you? That whenever you miss your family you don't have to do your job anymore and can stay home, regardless of whether your coworkers, your employer and other stakeholders (in this case the fans) are relying on you to do what you committed to do? It's heartless and cold to expect you to honour those obligations? The fact that you have a wife and children means you can abandon your responsibilities whenever you like to be with them, because "family comes first"? This is a ridiculous standard.

Yes it is heartless and cold to expect someone to put their job first over their family. We're talking about family Vs jobs. It's a no brainer. Anyone who puts job over family is a hollow and selfish person.
What is ridiculous is your callousness towards family. I feel sorry for your family.
