[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with all of the talk regarding him possibly getting pushed out should he go through with the sabbatical.

However, the list of projects in the original post, listed under the guise of what projects she can have him tackle while on his sabbatical seems extremely micro-managed.  Let him choose how to use this time, and as long as he's doing something productive, (whether you agree with it or not) let him enjoy his time![/quote]

I think the problem is that he doesn’t have a track record of being productive and so she’s trying to decide how to corral his energy (or lack of).

It does seem unfair to have two adults in a house but the one adult with temporarily unlimited free time is the one who’s not going to use it to the benefit of the entire family.[/quote]

Funny you say this
.
My bother just had an umbilical hernia operation, prob that mesh thing, and got two weeks off.

He was fine after a day.

Over those two weeks: Built a front patio, trained his kid2 daily to make the swim team, train his kid1 to do a second triathlon, did a ton of fun social group stuff, tutored kid3&4, got kid 4 on flag football doing spin moves, let his SAHW join a sailing club finally (youngest is in K finally), reorganized the house for back to school. Planned Thanksgiving break, they are hosting my parents, and put together dinners for his Oct college reunion. And he’s losing weight doing more jogging every day, post Op.

They are a great team. I can only imagine what he’d accomplish in a multi month sabbatical.
