[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often does he travel? Every month? Is he taking advantage of his sniffles? Is he still working thru the man cold?[/quote]

OP - he travels every month or so.  At the minimum every quarter.  I try and have empathy but its hard because stuff still needs to get done and then I have to do it all.  I power through when I have a migraine or any sickness that isn't completely debilitating.  Its what parents do when they have young kids who can't function on their own. [/quote]

Agree. Women with children have to power through in order to keep the family afloat and moving forward.

Too many husbands dump everything on their wives too much and too frequently. [/quote]

Not me. I'm a woman and a mom and when I'm sick, my husband steps up. We've both covered for the other when sick, when work is stressful, when we're out of town, etc.

OP, he may not understand the burden it's putting on you to do everything while he's gone and then when he's back. Of course, these are work trips, and [b]he's working,[/b] but you are also working harder while he's gone. When he gets back it's fair to say I know you don't feel well but I really need you to do X. Or once he's feeling better he steps up more and you get some time off. I don't like bean counting so I have no idea who has been sick more/who has done more, but my husband and I just take turns stepping up as needed. Maybe your husband needs to understand that he has to do the same. [/quote]

Let's be so for real about his situation vs hers. He's staying in a swank hotel with no kids to wake him up in the middle of the night and all meals prepared for him. She's doing the daily grind at work AND the second shift with no assistance from him. [/quote]

I'm a woman and I hate traveling for work. It is way worse than being at home. Also, how many times are you awoken in the middle of the night once your kids are over 6 months old?[/quote]

This. Work travel SUCKS. Being sick SUCKS. These idiots acting like it’s a walk in the park compared to “supervising homework” are out of their freaking minds.[/quote]
