[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions. i didn’t even know that Groupon was still a thing :-) I do solo parenting often when DH is on business trips but this is usually combined with work, school, activities and planned outings. This situation is a last minute change of plan for 5 days. I am definitely planning to get a neighborhood teen to help for a couple of hours so I can get a break.

For the PP who is used to doing this, good for you i guess! I wish you had more constructive advices, it is not a competition ![/quote]

There is really nothing to advise.  It’s five days. What would you be doing if your husband was home?  Just so the same. [/quote]

No, boring! And it would emphasize that he was gone. Do something cozy and family-oriented that you normally wouldn’t do!

Pizza and board games!

Bundle up, find a pickleball court (equipment is cheap on Amazon)

Have a farm day and bring back a pie or some cider donuts.

Drive to a park for a family-friendly “hike”

Go pick out a few new holiday decorations at the mall and put them up together! Thanksgiving, or maybe ornament-making and a new kids’ tree in a silly color, if that’s in your tradition.
