That's true but kids should not "ground" both of you, unless you are broke
Not exactly "broke", but for a number of years the childcare bill came to several times what I used to spend on flying. I have taken up flying again since we haven't had to pay nurseries.
My wife love's to go flying but as we have to boy's aged 11 and 6 she is always concerned about the fact that if anything goes wrong it's both of us in the plane together
Yes, I am allowed to take the children flying, but not all of them at once, and my wife won't come flying with me unless there's another pilot in the aircraft. (Which was useful on the most recent occasion, as the other pilot had more experience of sorting out an engine failure than I had.)
