My two cents ~ please don't allow yourself to be a 3 times a year father to your children. Some other man if your wife ever remarries will be raising your children.... they need both of you. It is your wife decision to move away...not yours ... she will. I would never agree to be without my children... it's not in the best interest.
How can you split childcare 50/50 when there is a breadwinner and a stay at home mom. That is her job when your not there. Is she not working? If not, how does that cell phone get paid? Good luck on your journey but as the mother of children whose father is absentee at this point.. please don't let your children go that far away.
