[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d you are going form 6am to midnight, that is your choice not his.  Not excusing his behavior, but you can’t use your poor time management in the argument. [/quote]

Get up, make food, walk dog, get kids to school, work, sports practice, dinner, laundry, more work. That sounds normal to me if there’s only one adult to do meals/dishes/dog walk/bedtime?

My usual day ends at 10 pm and that’s with another adult home. When they’re not home, it could easily go another 90 minutes-2 hours depending on the day of the week.[/quote]

When my husband or I travel for work the other makes things easier on themselves to the extent possible. So could your kids eat cereal or Eggos for breakfast so you're not making fried eggs in the morning when it's just you? Can you hire a dog walker to help out when your husband is gone? Can you have someone carpool with you to sports practice? Can you do the critical loads of laundry and leave the other things for later? Can you try to take it easier at work during that time?

I get it, I also work a full-time job and my husband is a 50% partner (although I'm not sure yours is even he's home and not sick...), so when he's gone my life is a lot harder, but then I do things to make stuff easier to the extent possible. Do we pick up Cava for dinner on the way home from sports rather than making dinner? Yep, and that's ok (with me anyway). See what you can do to simplify things so you're not running so hard when he's gone. And don't schedule things like a MIL visit for after he gets back from a work trip - she can come another time or you can find her a good hotel she can stay at.[/quote]
