I want/need the extra hands before bedtime, but then I like quiet time. My DH is frequently out of town for a night or two or has dinners and gets home late. One day is fine, but multiples are tough.

If he's out of town over a weekend my mom will usually come over and help out. But if it's just a few days during the week then I'm fine without the help.

I'd like conpany a few days, but I've never asked.

I don't WOH, but my DH is rarely home for bath and bedtime. When he is there although I love having him around and having the extra help, I do find I slightly miss that little window between LO going to bed and him getting home when I have the flat all to myself!

My husband travels a couple days a week and I've had people offer to have us over for dinner but usually I decline. We typically don't get home until 5:30 or 6 and bedtime is 7:30 so we have a lot to get done during that time and going somewhere gets us off our schedule.

I don't because I have no one here that I would/could call, but I wish someone was around to help out because work makes it tough to solo parent.

DH travels 1-2 times a month for 4-5 days at a time. I usually don't want/need the extra help, but I make sure to do a lot of prep-work the weekend before ( meals, clean laundry, etc.) and take some me time the weekend after. I usually enjoy the time to catch up on my TV shows. The exception was the week I was sick - I had our nanny come the 2 evenings I was sick
