I'm 27 now, but when I was growing up from age .... well zero, my dad was gone ALOT on business. He would be gone about 25-32 weeks every year for no less than 2 weeks at a time.

I remember, even at age 15, crying myself to sleep and having a really hard time because all I needed was a hug from daddy.

My comment on this article is to just remind everyone that a couple 2-3 days or something is totally doable, especially with the fabulous ideas brought forth in this article. However, getting closer to a full week, or worse 2-3 weeks at a time is just MURDER on a child who just wants her parent's time and attention.

Truely, it's just not worth the career boost. That's just priorities.

Good luck to any working/traveling parent! Be careful to keep priorities straight. :)
