[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you stay home OP?[/quote] That was my question too. I'm not a SAHD, but I'm the default parent and my wife is away a lot for work. We have childcare during the week, but I pick up most of the work-week slack on the kid, and my wife is away one weekend a month for work while I'm home with the baby. I get that taking care of children is very demanding. I agree completely with the idea that it's work just as much as going to a regular job. So, it seems to me your weekday job is childcare and his is...whatever it is. The rest of the time you two should be splitting child duties between you. Yes, he should get vacation weekends too, just as you should get them. When he's home during the week (not travelling) he should be giving you a break from child care. Travelling for work is not "vacation" even if you get to go to nice places and maybe eat out. [/quote]
