[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is not a debate on whether I should go. It's for tips on how to make the week easier for my husband and the baby. [/quote]

If you can, stock the freezer with some easy-to-prepare meals.  Casseroles, lasagna, frozen waffles, frozen convenience stuff from Trader Joe's, etc.  Fill the fridge with eggs, sandwich materials (bread, lunch meat, sliced cheese, condiments, lettuce, and tomatoes) and whatever fruits and veggies he likes.  A box of granola/energy bars, trail mix, and other easy-to-eat snacks.  It doesn't have to be fancy or gourmet, just stuff to make eating easier.  Make sure the delivery menus from a few local restaurants are in a handy place.  Have laundry done before you go.  Sounds like he's a very capable dad.[/quote]

Or the DH can just go out to the store and buy what he wants to have on hand before OP leaves. I’m sure he’s also capable of looking up delivery menus on line. As others have noted, it’s likely that OP will have the far more onerous task of serving as primary caregiver for a disabled elderly man while still recovering from childbirth and pumping, compared with her DH caring for their infant. If anything he should be the one posting online asking how to support her.[/quote]
