DH is gone for a week (or more) a month every month. It was really hard the first few times he was away but now it's second nature. In some ways, it's almost easier because I don't worry so much about cooking/cleaning and just concentrate on quality time with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-travels-for-work-1#post-1272752 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:21:51 +0000 Weagle 1272752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of do the opposite and relax the routine a bit. My LO is 19 months and really flexible. We stay extra busy. Lots of play dates, later errands, dinner is definitely not up to the same standard, have people over. I find the busier the better. I don't know if you're SAH or WOH, so that may not work for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-travels-for-work-1#post-1272744 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:17:35 +0000 Smurfette 1272744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Routine!!!! If you work, pack and get everything ready for the next morning thr night before. Lay out clothes for the whole week Sunday night. Easy meals. Don't worry about keeping the house clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-travels-for-work-1#post-1272739 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:13:35 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1272739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm working on a post about this! My husband travels a lot for work. </p> <p>Routine works wonders. So does having a plan and keeping busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-travels-for-work-1#post-1272737 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:12:48 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1272737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering this myself...this is my first night on my own. Luckily DH will be home tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-travels-for-work-1#post-1272694 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:54:31 +0000 matador84 1272694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Routine is key for us. I am a WOHM so DS is in daycare from 730-5 or so daily. I just have my little routine that I am set in and it helps. Of course, it is 8 pm here and I am already in bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-travels-for-work-1#post-1272686 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:51:58 +0000 mrsbookworm 1272686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how do you deal with being a solo parent? I'm on day 9 here and going nuts! At least the end is in sight, but I know this won't be the last time he's gone. Any tips? </p>
