[quote=Anonymous]My husband travels maybe 25% of the year, usually stacked up in a couple weeks here and there. It is very hard for him and I think it's unfair of the PP to say that it's "impossible" for an absentee parent and spouse to make up for the time they're gone. I agree that it's definitely not a one-for-one trade, but when DH is gone, he Skypes with DD every night before bed. When he gets back, they plan a lot of DD-and-daddy activities, which gives me a break to take that hot bath I've been missing for a week or go to yoga or a movie or whatever. It's not easy to be the one who does not travel, especially because I also work full time out of the home so my days are pretty long when there is no other adult in the mix, but having also had a job in the past that required a lot of travel, I know that it's not all fun. The appeal of airplanes and hotel rooms and business dinners wears off a lot faster if you have stuff at home that you're missing. [/quote]
