[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH just returned from 5 months away. He came back two weekends and we went for a week (although he wasn't available to spend any significant amount of time with us) kids are 4 and 6. It was tough at first but we did fine. It's no big deal.[/quote] Fair or not I think there's a huge difference between dad going for 5 months and mom going. [/quote] How so? We both play significant roles in our children's lives and we both work full time. Sure it might seem harder for the parent leaving but I don't see how mom leaving is any more difficult than dad at this age. Sure, maybe if you were dealing with nursing infants but that's not the case.[/quote] Because mom is mom. Even when dad is great, kids want their moms. [/quote]
