He left for 3 days when LO was 3 weeks and a week when LO was 5 weeks. He's been back to traveling pretty regularly (usually M-F) but has a 10 day trip coming up at the end of the month (LO will be 2.5-3 months). :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1322077 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:16:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1322077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A work trip this past fall to Asia for 1 week.

Once when E was 6 months, once when he was 10 months, and just last month when E was 18 months. My MIL usually comes to help get E off to daycare in the morning, which is usually DHs job. So our day to day routine isn't interrupted too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321871 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 09:07:12 +0000 Smurfette 1321871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every week, he leaves Mon morn and gets home Thurs after she is asleep.

I still can't believe that I let him go;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321819 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:31:17 +0000 Ra 1321819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH goes to California for a week a month every month. In a March, he has his week-long business trip plus an annual week-long "man vacation" so he will be gone for 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321808 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:22:04 +0000 MamaCate 1321808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was just gone two weeks in December for residency interviews and will be out of the country the entire month of February. LO is 2 now but it is still a lot. I am so glad to have supportive friends around and have so much respect for single moms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321804 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:15:43 +0000 loveisstrange 1321804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overnight for me.

He'll need to go away for a week here and there this year for work though and I feel ready now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321707 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 02:50:47 +0000 lamariniere 1321707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH went on a one week business trip when DS was 3 months. That was his last one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321680 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:46:27 +0000 birdofafeather 1321680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm, maybe now? 2.5 days away. We do it regularly though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321659 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:03:04 +0000 googly-eyes 1321659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went on a week long trip when dd was five months old, a one night hotel stay when she was seven(ish) months (it was a gift!), and on a two or three (?) night trip when she was about nine months. The first one went well because we planned it for when dd didn't have object permanence/separation anxiety. The last one we paid for! Dh hasn't gone out of town on his own but he will be soon because he will be applying for a job out of town and he has to make several trips. He also works nights right now..he's at work now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321657 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:57:17 +0000 Running Elley 1321657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hasn't gone away by himself since DS was born (currently 15 months old). DS and I left a day early for a weekend away once and spent the night away from DH- that's the only time we haven't all been together (other than my hospital stay with DD). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321651 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:46:09 +0000 jedeve 1321651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He drove out to the coast the day before LO and I flew out, but that's it. I took LO with me on a business trip, if that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321647 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:37:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 1321647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was out of state for a work conference for 9 days when are was...9ish months old? It was over Easter, and most of his family was in town at my ILs and I spent a few days there. Unfortunately, a nephew was sick and got me, MIL and FIL sick. I was trying to limit E's exposure so I brought him home, but was then solo-parenting him while really sick myself. No bueno! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321628 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:50:53 +0000 bhbee 1321628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs was gone for work for about 2 weeks this past summer when LO was 18 mo. I ended up flying to my mom's for the whole time because it would have been a lot to handle alone. I also work at home in the summers. He regularly leaves for 2-3 days for work and that started when LO was 6-8 weeks maybe. A few days is fine ... He often works late so many days I do all the child care alone but it's still nice to have someone to talk to even later! I have crazy respect for single moms.<br /> Of course I only have one now see what I say once we have two ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321615 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:27:04 +0000 sandy 1321615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He traveled a ton this year. Probably an average of 2 trips a month for 3 days at a time. LO was over 12 months at that point though so not that bad for me. The longest trip was 6 days when LO was 25 months and he was home for 2 days and back on the plane...that was the toughest for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321582 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:49:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1321582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dh has an annual camping trip with his best friend around their bdays... he was gone 2.5 days in october, ds was 10.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321542 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:26:21 +0000 Aandmklover 1321542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh went on a work trip (to Puerto Rico for 4 nights 5 days) when DS was 4 months old. Needless to say I was very jealous. His work trip was more like a meet and greet for the higher ups and parties every night. Sigh. That was the first and the longest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321531 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:20:20 +0000 lawbee11 1321531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was away for one night about a week ago. LO is 5 months old. Next week he'll be away for 5 nights! My mom is going to come help me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321528 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:18:34 +0000 fancyfunction 1321528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When M was 3 months he went on a work trip for two nights. She and I stayed at my parents house. He has another one coming up in Feb and I think we may do the same thing. I like the company. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321526 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:17:25 +0000 matador84 1321526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went out of town for business for a week when DS was 3 weeks old and again at 8 weeks. By that point I had it down enough where it was okay...but the first two trips were tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-sos-longest-trip-away-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1321523 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:15:45 +0000 autumnlove 1321523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH went to a bachelor party in 2012 for 2.5 days when LO was 10 months old. </p>
