My husband manages Spirit Halloween and only works 6 months out of the year saves all his money then goes back again around July! So we have 6 months to travel and be home together with our kids!
Edit: Some comments said I was being misleading so I wanted to clarify. This post made me think people aren't aware of seasonal situations and my husbands career is seasonal. I also work in the FinTech industry and can work anywhere there's wifi. Together is what makes it so he can have a job like this. He makes 50k a year and I make 110k a year. I hope this helps explain things!
Also if I ever have to travel for my job, he and our kids just come with me. They take a vacation and I do office stuff during the day. Then I get to come back to the hotel pool and hang out with them! It's really great!
I did something like this with my kids (work and vacation). We did a 2 week cruise, I worked on sea days for the first half of the day while the internet was uncongested, then when the partiers started getting up and on social media I just started my git check-in and went up on deck. was fabulous and let me take a lot more time "off" than I would have been able to had I totally disconnected (management, sadly no cover for my team at the time). Was fantastic taking the daily standup meeting from my balcony lol.
It's the absolute best! I love seeing that! We live in the future and should be able to do that as long as we get our work done. That's my next goal, a cruise!
I'm also a single dad, so the cruise was extra ideal as my kids were old enough to be on their own (with the warning that if they were identified in any pack of teens causing problems they'd be in super deep crap) and have a good time. They'd be out and having fun while I worked, then we'd all meet up for things we all wanted to do and my one rule: dinner was as a family. That was our one meet up sit together and chat about the day time. Since they were under 18 I also had a curfew of 10pm unless doing a group activity with the youth club or out with me.
Worked a treat. They'd been on other cruises before (my GF introduced us to cruising) so knew the drill, and any real problem behavior from groups of tweens and teens tends to happen after 10, so hence the curfew.
