  The study examines families in which one or both partners are commuting for longer periods (hetelés). Our research questions focus on those families who are raising children. As a result, their family life is largely determined by the specific operation based on the changing dynamics of physical, emotional proximity and distance. The analysis which processes qualitative results focuses on children and reveals the changes that have taken place in the family as a result of long term commuting. These include attachment in the family, the care and upbringing of children, and the place and role of the child in the family. In the lives of the families studied, we encountered different parental attitudes and parent-child relationships.

  The study deals with the transformation of decisions and division of labor within the family by
  processing the results of a qualitative, interviewed study of the target group of weekly workers.
  The study shows how decisions are restructured according to roles within the family and how
  the roles of women and men change as a result of the regular absence of one family member.
  From the point of view of the approach to domestic work, the differences between weekdays and
  weekends, which can be considered as a consequence of weekend, come to the fore. In the course
  of the analysis, we examined whether there was a change in the decision-making processes
  within the family as a result of the weekly (and if so, what areas were affected by the change)
  and whether there was a radical change in the division of family responsibilities as a result of the
  weekend. I present the results on the basis of two dimensions, on the one hand, of the phenomena
  of disposition and decision-making over income, and, on the other hand, of the division of family
  responsibilities and problem-solving.

  The study present the weekly commuting in a small village of 1600 resident in Tiszahát. The
  economic situation of the settlement, employment and income opportunities are lower than
  national average, which also has an extremely strong impact on the livability of the village.
  The local primary labor market can employ few workers, other employees can work in public
  employment or they can work as a seasonal worker in agriculture buti it does not provide an
  income that can be calculated all year. There are few opportunities in the region, so they can
  not work in the nearby settlements. Many locals have to go to remote settlement for work. We
  prepared interviews to examine: how weekly commuting became popular in the village and how
  it affected local families and the local community.
