[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I traveled for a month for a trial (hey, peanut gallery, I bet that's not important enough ;) and also was in a very inconvenient location that made my travel to the family and their travel to me very difficult.  Is there a place you can meet halfway?  We met in a fun city with lots of museums and activities one weekend and had a great time.[/quote]

Same here! I was away for nearly 2 months for a trial. I left little notes and wrapped gifts for my kids for my DH to parcel out over time. We Skyped/Face-timed. My family came up for a visit halfway through.

+1 to the PP who said don't micro-manage your DH. Ask him what you can do to help HIM - does he want a good babysitter/parent's helper on call? Is there a meal service that he can use to make sure healthy meals are lined up for both him and the kids? (Galley is a great service for this.) Is there stuff that you can subscribe to on Amazon that your family regularly uses (sunscreen, certain foods, etc.)? Should you all schedule regular doctor's/dentist's appointments now so everything is lined up? I would say just sit down with your DH and come up with a list together, and work out a plan. Also strongly suggest a family calendar if you don't already have one so that you can see what is going on with the kids while you're away.[/quote]
