[quote=Anonymous]I did this for a few years. Family calendar is key. My spouse's travel was not routine, and sometimes would come up quickly. There were times where he'd say to me "Oh, I might need to go to Florida next week" and then Tuesday morning would come around and I'd be completely taken aback that he was taking off with a suitcase for three days. From his perspective, he'd told me -- from mine, he'd mentioned something in passing that was not a firm commitment. We have a shared electronic calendar and we review the week together on Saturday morning as we make a shopping list and figure out who is on dinner duty for each night. The other thing that's important is to beef up your social network. Who are the adults that you will spend time with? We do a regular Friday evening hangout at a local playground in summer, we'll grab a couple of pizzas and let the kids hang out on the playground until it's dark. [/quote]
