[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a great wakeup call for you to figure out how to make your life more fun, more pleasant, and less stressful when your DH is out of town. Do you currently have a regular babysitter? It seems like the default should be that, when your DH is out on business, you get at least 2 hours of evening babysitting every day he's gone so you aren't always at wit's end. [/quote]

Yes, this seems pretty straightforward. A good friend was a SAHM - every Friday she had an all-day sitter so she could do her girl stuff as well as enjoy her older kids' sports activities w/o chasing the little one. At first I didn't get it - possibly b/c I was working P/T  - but then realized it was brilliant. She always had Friday as a break and then was refreshed when her DH came home from his very demanding job at the end of the week. She didn't feel the need to "hand them off" to get a break as she had already gotten one. Then they would divide and conquer for the rest of the weekend.[/quote]

Very smart. There is no prize for burning yourself out with martyrdom. [/quote]
