yes i have two girls one who was born while i worked away and the other one who was born 2 years before i finished working away..i had to leave two days after my last one was born and that hurt but if you look at it anyone who works away is home more than someone who works around here because for every month i worked i got a paid month off.
I set up my own business with some of my savings and it done really well that i was able to sell it and retire.
The financial gains will last generations because we are comfortably well off and the children will want for nothing later in life.
I would say to anyone to have a go at it because the rewards outweigh the negatives.
