[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kids do you have? Do you get help when they are traveling?

My DH was only traveling about once a quarter so I was able to deal with it. The start of this year he already has 5 weeks of travel booked between the end of February till beginning of April.

We have 3 elementary aged kids who do activities and I work full time. We have car pools set up for the older ones (can’t reliably do it for the youngest who is still in a car seat/booster).

Any words of wisdom to help this go smoother? [/quote]

We’ve had a family member come and stay with us when I traveled for 5–10 days when our kids were really little. We have three kids and two older dogs with health issues and my husband is out of the house 12 hours a day and our nanny worked 9 hours a day at the time, so there were gaps.

If there isn’t a family member who can assist then you could ask a babysitter to help or look over the schedule and where there are conflicts cut activities for each child for the period your husband is away, so it’s spread between the kids and one kid isn’t always missing their activity. [/quote]
