You will do your best and they will thrive

Kids are far more resiliant than guilty parents fear.

Just make sure that your kids don't see the allowance increase as being directly tied to not seeing you. Not, for instance, a sign that you're feeling guilty. I'd specifically suggest breaking the news of the allowance increase and the extra daycare on separate occasions.

Cheers,
Ben
