[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please clarify. Do you need your in laws help when your DH is away? My DH traveled weekly when my kids were young and often the week went pretty smoothly without him. Mainly, it was less cooking and cleanup.[/quote] Yes, I need help. I also work full time and have two kids, one in daycare, one in elementary school in different locations. I can manage for a couple of days on my own, but it makes my own work schedule difficult with pickup and dropoff for both of them and managing morning/evening prep. Though it exhausts me to have my in laws (usually just my MIL for the whole week, but FIL may visit a part of the time as well), for a full week, it is more exhausting to do it on my own and can also be impossible if I have any early or late work obligations).
