does that make me a bad parent when I ain't able to see my kids alot because I work, and they have everything that they need. It hurts that I can't see them all the time.

no because you need to work to survive this is the way it goes , at least you can give them most things, make the most of when you can see them and talk to them alot whenever you can on breaks, lunch at night, every little bit counts, and they will know you are doing this for them and love them alot, be easy on yourself your doing good.

It does not make you a bad parent at all. You may want to try to make more time for them. Your kids may not understand this now, but they will as they get older.

I don't think it is a bad parent to provide for your children, the best that your possibly capable of. Just take a little time here, and there to spend good quality time with them. SO that they may understand "WHY" your away for so long.

You are not a bad parent. Just make sure they know that you love them and you spend some time with them.Make sure you teach them the essential things of life and you take them places or do things that they will remember forever.It will matter.They will appreciate it and love you for it.

well
that is sort of normal, you HAVE to work, dont you?
your doing good for them if you think about it , your making money to supply the family with and take care of them .
but when you ARE spending time with them, make it worth while, and have a good time, especially if your time is slightly limited with them at times
they will understand your situation when they get older, and realise what your doing, even if your at work is good , and the time you spend wheather your with them or not is time you DO need to be spending. Or they may even understand if you explain to them now

no it doesnt make you a bad parent. but if you notice that you arnt spending much time with them, then you should ask for some time off work once in a while just to be with them.

Bad parent no. But you have to realize that giving them everything they need doesnt replace you. Try to make time for them. I unerstand that in this world we have to sacrafice to make ends meet.

Of course not. You are doing your best for them. Just make the most of the time you can share with them.
