DH went to a bachelor party in 2012 for 2.5 days when LO was 10 months old.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
Of course I only have one now see what I say once we have two ... -
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!
-
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.
-
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).
-
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!
-
Hm, maybe now? 2.5 days away. We do it regularly though.
-
DH went on a one week business trip when DS was 3 months. That was his last one though.
-
LO is 3.5mths and he hasn't left us yet. He'll need to go away for a week here and there this year for work though and I feel ready now
-
DH had a business trip when LO was 1.5 years old. He left for two nights.
-
Military training for two weeks when E was 10 weeks old. I considered myself lucky-my friend's husband was deployed after their kid's birth!
-
Two days ... I can't remember when now!
-
Business trip to Italy for 2 weeks.
Torture!!
-
Overnight for me. DH is about 5-6 weeks.
-
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!
-
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.
-
He went to a conference in LA for 5 days when P was 10 days old! I still can't believe that I let him go;)
-
He went away for four days for business when DD was five months old.
-
Every week, he leaves Mon morn and gets home Thurs after she is asleep. There were a couple weeks of Mon-Fri sometime.
-
He's left for a few sessions of work training that are 2 weeks each. 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.
-
A few work trips for 5 days each
-
A work trip this past fall to Asia for 1 week. He's typically gone 3-4 nights each month for work.
-
Oh man, DH travels 80-90% for work. 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).
