[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three week-long trips without wife and kids (when it's not for work) is a LOT. One long weekend with friends would be reasonable for EACH spouse. But for a week? No. Three times in a year? No. He wanted a family, now he's got one. He needs to be a family man, not dip in and out when it's fun.[/quote]

She said 4 or 5 days and she didn’t say they were during the week. They could be long weekends.

And I don’t think a parent who is away for 12-15 days and parents the other 350+ is someone who is dipping in and out when it’s fun or not caring about their family! [/quote]

It would be interesting to hear the story of the people commenting. For example, my husband and I are an equal team when we are home together. He doesn't sit on his phone or hide in his office or exercise weaponized incompetence on a regular basis so I have no problem with him taking multiple trips with his friends every year because he is totally present when he's at home. If he was effectively taking "time off" when he was at home, I could see not wanting him to be gone/taking time off other times. [/quote]
