First Time Dads

When going to work means daddy disappears for seven months


Listen Later

How would you cope if simply going to work meant you didn't get to see your kids for seven months?
While we would all rather be with our families than be at work (well, most of the time), for men in certain jobs, paying the bills means being away from home for huge lengths of time.
In this episode, Steve and Rich talk to Mike Fyans, a petty officer in the Royal Navy, about exactly that. When his eldest son was still a baby, Mike went to sea - meaning he didn't see his infant son for SEVEN MONTHS.
Mike explains how this different sort of family life works, and why - when it comes to doing the right thing for his family - he believes it's all for the best. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
