[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask that he stay elsewhere for his recovery day and count that as a vacation day.  For the PP who suggested that was toxic bean counting, I disagree.  The idea of stepping away from my family for a long weekend to go have fun and leave DH with all the childcare duties is a big deal.  I've done it a few times but it's not something we just do, and every day really does count. Seems a lot less toxic to call it a 4-day trip instead of a 3-day trip, and avoid the resentment over that final day.  Then when the wife is considering her trip she doesn't have to feel bad or guilty taking the extra day also. [/quote]

My husband and I both take trips with our friends. We don't count how many days we are each gone, we just support each other's trips. Some years I'm gone more than he is, some years he's gone more than I am. Sometimes one of us travels farther or to a more expensive location than the other. We don't keep a tally of all that. That's the part that becomes bean counting. [/quote]
