Anotherday just to give some perspective, not all but some LCCs in Europe and US pay very well to be honest and after some time they give you good bases and very stable roster patterns...you usually fly 700 hrs a year however the single days can be very long. GA in Hong Kong pays way better than any airline job as well, just in case you insisted on not wanting to go back to a LCC.
I would still choose Long Haul on a beautiful modern bird out of Hong Kong if you ask me...but just to say that valid options are there for you and your family, no need to stick it and complain if you don't like it.
