[quote=Anonymous]My wife travels extensively for work.

It's really not a huge deal. Systems, organization and planning is critical. Meals should be planned. Lunches should be made the night before and packed in the fridge. Breakfast is a set menu and time.

Wake up first. Get your coffee and get ready. If there's a baby, you can take them with you. Change 'em, bottle them, and then swing while you shower if they are small. If they are too big for that, shower the night before.

A bit of screens is fine. 10 minutes to pull yourself together will not kill them.

Get bags packed the night before.

Go to bed early! That's critical for success.

I will say, as a man, the thing that I find about parenting is that it's a ton of executive functioning. And it's weird, but there are so many men who just...have zero EF when it comes to their damn home. I don't know why. I love being in the weeds everywhere, ha.

I work full time as a physician's assistant. And still handle a lot at home. Men: do better.[/quote]
