I don't think it's necessarily bad to spend quality family time when dad is home from a trip. In my opinion, that's the job of the family. To make coming home a happy welcoming experience.

I agree with previous posters about not changing your routine too much when he's home. But I also think it's important to teach your kids that family time is something that you MAKE SURE happens. I think it will let your kids know that, when you're a dad and not at work, you should be spending quality time with the family.

That's just my opinion though.

I think pilot's families have a leg up on other families in this regard because we learn to value each other more.

You know what they say... absence makes the heart grow fonder.
