Ronny, not wanting to be a spoiler, but, Step turn is right on the money here.
I have a wife and two kids, I have a beautiful Bonanza, and I have flown them about Europe on a number of occasions, however, my wife now states that she does not really like it, clouds etc. I recently bought a yacht, and now all the family are reenergised. We all sail together.
It worried me, until a very good friend said
Aeroplanes are for you, boats and yachts are for the family.
I actually saw the light, and have now realised that unless you are really truly committed, the dream of buying, and regularly flying your family, no longer makes any sense. The never ending stream of reports, with highly capable pilots, in very expensive and capable machines, buying the farm, has started to really bother me also.
My aeroplane will wait for me, once my family have grown up..
