[quote=Anonymous]Wanting the break, yes very common.  Adding days on after something ends and not being honest that these are optional days, not cool.  When my DH travels for work, it puts a lot more stress on our logistics.  I have to negotiate rides for the kids to activities , take time off from work where I may be leaving early in order to pick up the kids on time and/or get reinforcements in the form of grandparents.    If he was adding days here and there constantly and pretending it was required  and volunteering for trips he didn’t need to go on but telling me he did I would be pissed.

I get burned out sometimes and will just take a day off from work here and there.  I’m honest about it and I can get some extra downtime without adding more work to him.  Or plan it for a time when we don’t have a lot going on or far enough ahead that he can shift things around like a girls weekend or an alumni weekend at school.  I think lying about it means you are trying to avoid conflict by not being honest.  Whatever is the underlying issue is still there and you don’t have a chance to improve it because you aren’t being hones.  It’s also unfair to the other person because you are thinking just about yourself, not how to be fair to both of you.[/quote]
