    Default Traveling to the money

    How do the traveling dancers (that travel to the money) deal when you have children- 4 , 8 years?

    How do traveling girls know where the best money is ( with light contact ..... in the western U.S. ) ?

    I think most traveling dancers probably don't have kids, or at least not custody.

    I used to travel a LOT. I have wonderful parents that actually watched her so much they decided to open a daycare so she would have other children to play with - this was when she was 3-4 years old. Now shes older and goes to her fathers for the summer, christmas and spring breaks so Ill travel then.

    Id say family - Ive known girls who had nannies too. I wouldnt trust a lot of people tho... especially for longer periods of time. The longest I ever left her was 1 week.

    ^^ That may be a little harder. The older one is in school so you wouldnt be able to just take them to whomever - youd have to make sure they will make it to school.

    Maybe a nanny - but its not cheap, esp with 2. And youd HAVE to make sure theyre trustworthy. I wouldnt trust just some sitter...

    My advice would be to do 1 week and see how the children respond... have you left them for long periods of time before? Even 1 week seems sooo much longer to children than it does to us.

    My one gf has a nanny who travels with her for her son. Though hes only 3.

    Another girl I know home schools her kids and she has a nanny who travels with her and her children as well.

    Honestly I don't think it's a good idea if you have children that age and no support system. This isn't directed at you, but at people in general who either have professions or just chose to dump their kids on nannies. It's just not right, the kids need their mom, dad or at least family.

    If I were you I'd move to a place that generally has a tendency for good earnings and the mileage you require and if you have to get another job too. You may not be around a lot but at least you'll come home at night and you're children will know that.

    Thats just my personal opinion though.

    Who takes care of them when you're at work now?

    Agreed. I take my dog every where with me - and this is not a small, cute dog. I can't imagine not seeing him for more than a week end. Wouldn't you miss the kids too much?

    My best friend from H.S. watches my boys when I work night shift, 3x a week. My sister wants to do it, but she has proven to me that she is not very trustworthy.

    ^^ Yea, and you have to be very careful of things like that. A few years back my gf and I went to Los Angeles to dance. She left her two girls with her sister - who ended up in JAIL while she had the children. We had to drive back to Sacramento in the middle of the night... it sucked.

    Its one thing to have someone watch the kids at night, while theyre sleeping and another to have them watch them for days on end. Ill guess your friend works during the day and at night is free but its hard to find someone whos free all day and night.

    I hope you figure something out but I still advise to do shorter trips to start - moving up to longer ones. I think the longest I was gone was for 10 days.

    Once I took my brother and daughter to LA for 3 weeks while I was in the adult industry. He watched her while I was at work. It was fun, like an adventure.

    The girls I know who travel with Nannies don't just dump their kids on the Nannies. They spend all their time with them when they're not at work. So its no different then being at home with them.

    Traveling WITH the nannie, of coarse thats just like daycare, but nightcare, so even better.

    With school age children though who aren't homeschooled you obviously can't do that. I'm referring to the parent leaving the children in the home with a nannie while they're gone fore 3 weeks.

    This might sound weird, but you can get used to missing your kids. You'll always miss them but once you get used to that horrible feeling you start to deal with it better. I'm sure how it affects the children depends a lot on their developmental stage, but I don't think daycare is going to screw them up, or whatever people try to say/think about that...

    And honestly, moms need a freakin' break sometimes!

    Very true. I mean, my parents left us with relatives while they went on week long childless vacations - Jamaica and Hawaii... we were fine. It really depends on whether or not your children can handle it.

    I know three girls that travel together, all three have a kid. When they go someplace they go for a couple of weeks at a time. Each girl takes a turn staying with the kids, so it's work two nights, babysit the next. It works for them.
