don't let them think that money rules people, but that we are fine without it. We are in that situation as well. At times it can be hard and sad, but then I know that money is just a material object, not true happiness.
I know it's different in your situation, not being able to fly to see their dad. But remember it's only temporary- and possibly maybe picking up a webcam at least?
Let children know that money is not the root of all evil, it does not rule us, and to value the things in life that you can't put a price on. All of this is temporary and things will get better.
My husband is unemplyed, and I am only working p/t on a lousy 7.50/hr for my parents, but I understand that is all they can really afford to pay me. My husband plans on not going back to work, as he has been with no work in his construction job for months now, and plus it was hard on him, physically and mentally. He is trying to get into college and I plan on getting a f/t job. However, we have to consider our son and daycare. All of this tends to get frustrating, but I know it's worth it in the long run.
Everything will be okay.
Find things to do to keep them busy and happy without money. Interact with them a lot. Just spending time with them means more to them than anything else, plus it will help them in the future.
