[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi DCurbanmoms! My husband is considering a job in another city which would have him away for approx 3/4 nights every fortnight (like Mon-Thursday or Friday every second week).
I currently have two kids aged 3 months and 2.9  years. I'm wondering at what ages these two kids would be manageable on my own with that type of travel schedule for my husband?  not now but sometime in the future. 
The older one would be in daycare/kindy/school 4 or 5 days a week. The younger one would be in daycare/kindy 2/3 days a week while I was working 2 days a week. There would be no family help but I could probably afford a babysitter sometimes. 
Thanks for your thoughts :)[/quote]

If you can't take care of two children by yourself the three days what would you do if your husband was in the military and deployed for a year?  Everyone has common sense, use yours.[/quote]

OP here- we will never be in this situation because my husband works as a lawyer and will not be joining the military. Maybe use your common sense? Lol[/quote]

Literally thousands of families ARE military and cope starting with children at ages less than 1yr. It is not easy. Yet thousands of families cope with this.

Why are you so helpless?  Perhaps it is your lack of common sense. [/quote]
