Thanks for all the great feedback! I will try to reply to some of the questions a little later.
My desire was not to go back to France just for the sake of going to France. It is mostly to see my family and my friends on a more regular basis.
In the past 10 years or so, I have only been to France about every other year and usually for 10 to 12 days at most. It is not even what I would call a vacation. It’s essentially a quick tour to see as many as people as possible.
I guess going back to France with my daughter just once a year but 2 or 3 months at a time would be a great solution to my problems. But with the job I currently hold, that’s not feasible. My company would problably let me know do that once as unpaid time-off but I already know for sure they won’t let me do that every single year.
So I am basically to find a job that would accomodate that. And it’s not easy.
I will defnitely explore some of the options you guys suggested.
