Focus on family time or DH decompressing?

OP, don't plan. Definitely game time decision. DH makes the call. He makes the call then, as he's living it, not before. For that short period of time, for you, be very flexible. Don't encourage the kids to have any expectations one way or another.

He sleeps at a hotel cleaned everyday by housekeeping, eats out every meal, does his work and that’s it.

There’s a reason so many men like jobs where they travel for extended times. Sure it can help the career depending on the field, but hardly hardship. It’s not like he is a tent in the Afghan desert with sniper fire every night.

SO TRUE.

I'm a traveling DW. give me the kid and my own bed ANY DAY over constant work. Work travel saps the life out of me. My kid is tiring physically but otherwise a lot of fun.

OP DH is not doing constant work. Trust me. He should spend time with his kids before heading on his worcation.

It seems like letting him sleep in and then having a relaxed family day at home sounds like the best of both worlds.
