[quote=Anonymous]DH always traveled, often 3 out of 4 weeks a month, but was home on weekends. I have 3 kids, each 2 years apart. It's not hard and can be enjoyable actually. If you're a sahm or only work 2 days a week, this is even more doable. I work full time. I make simpler dinners, we often eat at the playground (less whining), everyone reads together at night (versus mom and dad separately reading to kids). My newborn would lay on my lap while I read to the older two. At night I enjoy the quiet and go to sleep earlier. Key is that dh knows he doesn't get to lay around and nap when he gets home. He also doesn't get to say how hard travel was. (My dad would do all of that when I was a kid) DH KNOWS that travel is like a vacation, even the plane flight. 5 hours on a plane to watch movies or nap by yourself= vacation. Nice white fluffy hotel bed= vacation. Eating dinner in a restaurant with no kid= vacation. DH pitches in immediately when he gets home.[/quote]
