[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only travel when I really need to for work and I don't stretch it out for days for personal time.  However, I used to rush home as soon as possible (i.e. if meeting ends at 6 PM, I'd get a flight that night so I could be home ASAP even if it was a red eye).  But when I get home, DH is immediately in relax mode and expects me to instantly become default caregiver as "payback" for him holding down the fort while I was gone.

I understand why he felt that way but I would be absolutely exhausted from travel and rushing home so I was running myself ragged.  Now, I'll fly out at a reasonable time the next day or take flights at more reasonable times (no red eyes) so that I'm rested and ready to go into default parent mode when I get home and DH can relax.  I still tell DH I'm coming home as soon as I can but I changed my own definition for "as soon as I can" to "as soon as I can without exhausting myself".  [/quote]

I hope he finds out.

What's the difference between you working and traveling and him working and watching the kids? He deserves a break too - you get one in the hotel at night. He gets no break while you're away.[/quote]
