[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand why one week of travel has impacted your life to this degree. Take a look around at the people that handle their own children everyday without assistance.  For example, single parents, parents of deployed spouses and spouses that travel much more frequently than this apparent one off week. [/quote]

It’s actually far from the norm for a single adult to care for small children. There’s a reason why single motherhood is considered very difficult and often leads to a severe economic impact due in large part to reduced earning capacity. It’s a very high stress situation.

With the divorce rate around 50%, I’d absolutely say it’s the norm for a single person to care for small children. And all these Nannie’s and helpers you keep suggesting to hire come alone, no?[/quote]

The divorce rate isn’t “around 50%” for upper middle class millennial/gen-x parents, which is what the OP likely is to have young children and live in the DC area. Single parenting is the exception, not the rule. [/quote]
