[quote=Anonymous]So I can relate. My kids are slightly older but one has special needs and I SAH and my husband travels a lot for 1-2 weeks at a time. It was worst when they were that little and it’s soooo much better now that they’re sleeping through the night and able to do some things independently. I’d hire someone to come from 4-7 pm so you can get help with bedtimes and meals/ cleaning up the house so that you are also done when they go to sleep. After they’re down watch tv, read a book, take a bath. Try not to do your work after a certain point in the evening otherwise you’ll get really resentful fast, especially when he comes home from travel and starts critiquing how you are managing things. Being the on parent 24/7 is mentally exhausting not to mention the stress of when one is sick etc. I got no breaks during the day when they were young as mine would only nap in a stroller or car so resting after bedtime was a sanity saver. Good luck![/quote]
