The house would be blown out, but that's it. They'd have a ton of fun. They'd probably just run around the house like nuts and then watch silly movies all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325838 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:50:21 +0000 autumnlove 1325838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: JT!!!!!!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325791 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:43:00 +0000 MrsF 1325791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I work every 3rd weekend so he's at home with M. I work 12 hour shifts so I put M to bed on Friday night and don't see her again until Monday morning. DH does a great job with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325789 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:42:54 +0000 chopsuey 1325789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! He can and will in a few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325788 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:42:26 +0000 stargal 1325788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup he would be just fine! They qqpuld probably have a blast together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325778 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:41:18 +0000 looch 1325778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, neither one of us could handle an entire weekend alone. When my husband was travelling for business, I'd pack up and go to my mother in law's house or my parent's house for a few days. This way, everyone gets a little break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325774 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:39:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 1325774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He will find out in February ;) I'm goign to the JT concert, so I'm doing an all day girls day on Monday and staying the night and will have a leasure day on tuesday before returning! He's in charge of daycare pickup/dropoff for those 2 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325755 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:35:58 +0000 tequiero21 1325755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325518 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:57:08 +0000 blackbird 1325518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325514 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:56:28 +0000 T-Mom 1325514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but they would be watching TV all weekend and eating Mickey D's for every meal. Not to say that he hasn't done it before :-) Slight exaggeration of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325511 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:55:54 +0000 Lozza 1325511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With 1 kid, it wouldn't faze him in the least. That's easy, it wouldn't even be noteworthy. If he had BOTH kids by himself, he'd be fine, but probably tired and frustrated by the end, since the little one is just 3 months and still wants to eat all the time and only naps in short bursts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325510 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:55:40 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1325510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, Mr. C is awesome with C - I love watching them together. It's so interesting because we have totally different styles in parenting, but clearly both work great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325467 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:45:49 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1325467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have 1 right now and he solo parents every Saturday because of my work schedule. He is as much of a parent as I am and I can't imagine being worried about leaving him alone with the DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325459 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:44:32 +0000 Smurfette 1325459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He watched R for a weekend (well picked her up Friday from day care and I was home Sunday at noon) and he said that it was easy. Jerk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325453 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:43:54 +0000 Andrea 1325453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. It might not be pretty, but he could do it. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325451 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:43:20 +0000 prettylizy 1325451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well he's done solo with DD for 2 girls trips I took that were 2 and 3 nights each no problem. He's such a good daddy! Once #2 is done nursing and doesn't need me anymore I'm sure he could handle that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325448 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:42:12 +0000 mediagirl 1325448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. He's going to have to next month. I'm sure he'll be stressed and frustrated by the end of the weekend, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325442 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:41:19 +0000 Boheme 1325442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - not patient enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325435 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:40:42 +0000 Greentea 1325435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I would miss them too much! DH is super calm and patient and confident but very laid back... not right now though as we are bfing and probably never will happen... I don't mind! But he could! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325361 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:24:59 +0000 Ra 1325361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He could. He would probably call with a lot of questions though. He is a rock star dad but isn't as confident as he should be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-handle-the-kids-solo-for-a-weekend#post-1325349 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:22:21 +0000 autumnlove 1325349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH would be a little tired but he can definitely handle 2 kids alone without me! </p>
