Seperation by distance.
Comes down to one thing in the end IMO. Finances.
Money can buy you the space to do anything, including Schooling the kids whilst you jet around the world.... maid or au pair can look after them for a couple of weeks.
I'm trying to think of circumstances, where money wouldnt solve this dilemma for the majority of people on this board. Cant think of many, Maybe someone close in hospice care is all I can come up with.
So over to you
Is there any circumstance where finance wouldnt solve the problem of separation from family by distance ?

(Other family members are 6 foot under and that is expected after 90 odd years so it creates no turmoil! I did not go back for my grandmother's funeral - there was no point and I would not have got back in time.)
But money is a great leveller. We could fly a lot more - but I don't think we would necessarily do it for the sake of it.

Health? I mean if someone could afford the flights but had heart probs or other ailment that stopped them flying.

Time. No amount of money can buy you that!
