[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can drop the rope to a point.  I did that recently - first one day per week now two.  The first couple weeks were rough I will not lie.  There were a couple games, etc. where the kids didn’t have what they needed or weren’t fed.  Now he has it down.  I think it also has helped his relationship with the kids a lot in so many ways.  I had to just let it go and not swoop in to fix things or do it my way.  We have a set schedule now where he is in charge of everything on two set weekdays every week.  You got it OP.[/quote]

I did this too.  I worked late one day a week and left DH in charge.  He had to  figure out how to manage his work schedule to get home on time, get kids fed, get them to their things, hire a sitter or arrange a carpool if he couldn’t do it, etc.  
I agree that it was really good for his relationship with the kids.  It’s different being with the kids on your own vs with your spouse, and your husband should get to have that time!  [/quote]
