[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a military wife, I’ve had to lean into the family tremendously. He was deployed for a year when the kids were a baby and toddler and again when they were preK and K. Now my kids are teens and he travels a lot for work. But I just make it work. I carpool when I can, cancel practice when I can’t be two places at once. Order out to eat on busy nights. Have the kids do more chores. It’s very doable OP. [/quote]

The question isn’t whether or not it’s doable. Presumably you signed up for that life. OP didn’t. I don’t think she’s trying to figure out how to parent with teens. I think she wants to see her spouse and I would agree. If they explicitly talked about the schedule and that’s now changed another discussion should be had. [/quote]

OP said: I’m less interested in whether the job should or shouldn’t exist this way (that ship has sailed) and more interested in how people have drawn new lines or created support so the at-home spouse isn’t carrying 100% of weekday family logistics.

The military wife and a few other PPs actually offer the advice OP asked for. [/quote]
