I think half the problem is that I have a very small network of friends and they aren't all close by. I get lonely for adult interaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supporting-dh-and-hating-it#post-436349 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:00:34 +0000 chopsuey 436349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry hun :(<br /> It's tough solo parenting!!!<br /> I feel your pain.

It would be nice to have more family time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supporting-dh-and-hating-it#post-435691 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:47:51 +0000 Weagle 435691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stinks :( DH has had a lot of business trips this month and last... several weeks worth. I don't want him to go, but I know that it's good for his career and him going means that he's really good at his job. Doesn't make the time pass any faster though. I hope you find an outlet for yourself for once LO goes down for the night... mine happens to be wine and trashy reality TV :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supporting-dh-and-hating-it#post-435679 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:43:48 +0000 NerdBee 435679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can totally commiserate. This is my life during the week. DH only sees LO in the morning for about 30 minutes and the. He has to go to work. He doesn't come home until LO is long in bed. </p> <p>It sucks! It's especially really rough when LO doesn't nap well during the day and is a total fussy pants all day long. </p> <p>No advice. Just hugs and understanding. *hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supporting-dh-and-hating-it#post-435675 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:43:18 +0000 littlecasita1122 435675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a week like that when my husband had to work a later shift - he went in for 10am and didn't get home until 8:30ish. It was awful because LO was only 2 months old at that point, was still really needy, and didn't go to sleep for the night until 9 or so. I was going crazy by the third day and living on Lean Cuisine meals. Luckily it was only a week - I don't know how single parents do it, I give them so much credit! Just keep thinking ahead to Christmas week and how good it'll be that he's home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supporting-dh-and-hating-it#post-435668 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:41:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 435668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :-( It's so tough to try to do everything on your own when you're used to having that extra help. Are there any friends or family that can take your LO for a little bit so that you can have some time to yourself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supporting-dh-and-hating-it#post-435659 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:38:35 +0000 prettylizy 435659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had a less than stellar month last month at work and so he wants to put in a big finish this month so we talked about it and he's going to be working extra late for the next 2-3 weeks so that he doesn't have to go in to the office during Christmas week. Well we're on day four (4!) and I'm already hating this. He only sees LO for like 20 minutes in the morning while he's rushing around to get ready, and I'm so over doing this by meself every night. I don't want to complain to him about it, I know this is just as hard for him not being home, but man, this stinks!! </p>
