Making such long commute from time to time would be the good example for kids. I noticed that with the kid words are nothing. The best way is by example. This they understand and accept.

Besides one has to feel onself good inside the family, for this one has to have the possibility to do what he wants and considers right. Then the family is better off too.

Now it is up to FOG. He can prove if such a long commute is possible or not.
