I work 25 hours a week - 3 evenings per week and every other weekend both days. DH takes care of our 18 month old when I'm working. He's always been really hands on though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214850 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:01:22 +0000 lawbee11 1214850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a lot right now because M nurses so often and is on a bottle strike so they can't be away from me for too long, but my DH is a professor so he teaches two days/week, has summers off, winter break, etc. He's going to be a part-time SAHD once I go back to work so they'll get a lot of alone time together. I am happy about that but a little sad that's she is most certainly going to be a daddy's girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214839 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:49:17 +0000 mrsjyw 1214839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same. He very rarely has a day alone w ds. He did yest n they had a good time. Tho dh was exhausted! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214835 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:45:57 +0000 Boheme 1214835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he is solo with DS until 5:30 1-4 days a week. On the other days, he has DS alone until 1 PM. He does a great job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214783 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:12:35 +0000 Smurfette 1214783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: We need to have a ladies out soon!</p> <p>DH usually has a couple hours with her on the weekends. Whether I am running errands or my turn to sleep in. He will be solo Friday picking her up from day care till Sunday afternoon. I think it going to make him appreciate all I do during the week solo parenting even more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214770 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:56:57 +0000 bushelandapeck 1214770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: thank you :) I'm really looking forward to it. I hope I can sleep in at least until 6:30! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214763 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:50:52 +0000 chopsuey 1214763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: daddy daycare needs to happen more often!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214762 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:50:47 +0000 autumnlove 1214762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: Have fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214748 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:44:32 +0000 MrsF 1214748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work every third weekend (12 hour shifts each day so I don't see M from friday night to monday morning). I think it helps both of us that DH knows exactly what it's like to care for her solo for a full weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214743 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:43:15 +0000 bushelandapeck 1214743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This Friday it will be away from DS for the first time overnight and he's staying with DH. They don't spend a ton of time alone because I only work part time but I do make a point of doing something by myself on the weekends and leaving DS with DH. I'm 100% confident that he'll do just fine but I know I'm going to miss him to pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214740 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:41:32 +0000 swedishfish 1214740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has LO all day Monday and Tuesday and all morning/early afternoon Thursday - Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214730 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:36:57 +0000 sunny 1214730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes sometimes I go out on the weekend for a girls morning and DH hangs out with LO by himself. I don't think he's ever been by himself with her outside the house though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1214727 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:34:03 +0000 autumnlove 1214727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: they had fun...park, saw MIL at work and groceries. They napped 4 hours for him...what the fudge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1213941 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:01:53 +0000 chopsuey 1213941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww sad.<br /> Dh takes dd out a lot and he does well when I leave him with both. Now that DS is boob weaned, dh can handle all feedings and sleep time too! Yes! I see a momcation soon! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1213929 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:59:00 +0000 mrsjazz 1213929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. He usually gets weekend mornings and sometimes when I have to work late. He's also been taking her out on just her and him outings--last week they went to a family function. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1213923 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:57:38 +0000 fancyfunction 1213923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just talked about this yesterday. There are hours-long spurts on weekends but that's about it. He told me to just go out and enjoy myself a bit on Sat and he and M can have some solo bonding time. I said, fine with me! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1213907 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:54:08 +0000 MrsStar 1213907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm not really unfortunately. LO is almost 14 months and he's been with her by himself once (about 2 hours). He does spend some good time with her when he gets home from work etc though, but I'm always there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1213455 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:38:34 +0000 Andrea 1213455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww it will get better for him!</p> <p>DH only has time with the girls on the weekends. But he can handle them both while I catch up on fun things like laundry and cleaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-spend-a-lot-of-one-on-one-time-with-the-kids#post-1213431 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:31:53 +0000 autumnlove 1213431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are usually together on DH's days off so he doesn't have much experience the girls as a solo parent. They aren't in daycare today so he has his hands full....I hear a lot of crying and whining right now! :( </p>
