I need to hate on MH for a second

[speckledfrog]

He is going on a work trip for 10 days in September.  TEN.  Tennnnnnnn!    WTF, man? 

[Yankees21]

You have my sympathies and all of the wine.

[macmars45]

I'm sorry.  I hope the time goes by quickly.

[dexteroni]

Ugh. Can you enlist friends/family members/paid sitters to help, or at least give you a sanity break?

[Deleted]

Yep, I feel you. It's hard. Wine and coffee help.

[gogadgetgo]

I hate long work trips. You have my sympathy.

My H is gone for 15 days in Oct.

I'm looking forward to it, lol.

Jerk.

That's shitty. Stock up on booze.

No family.  I can get out during the day, which will help, and DS will be in preschool, which will help.  Getting out of the house alone is harder because my jerk baby won't take a bottle and it's stressful for me to wonder if he's hungry and not really worth it.  I might be able to call in a few favors during the day, though.

MH usually cooks dinner, so having to do that for ten days might kill me.  I need to get a bunch of stuff frozen and get some easy, prepackaged stuff for the sake of my sanity.

farmvillelover - amen, lady.  This is his first big trip since the baby was born and it bloooooows.

What an ass. I just did a 10 stint with DH gone, and it sucked a little bit less than I was expecting. Helpful? Nope.

Then he can cook and freeze stuff for you before he goes. Or, a lot of Chipotle sounds good too. lol.

My H was gone for all of last October. It sucked majorly. Now when he travels it usually only for a week or two at a time but I still hate it. He's going to be gone the second week in September and though I'll hate it, I'm glad it's only for a week. Ten days is much too long, you have my sympathy.

Sorry you have a 10 day stretch alone I know it's hard.
I'm going to be out of town for 16 days combined in the next month and a half. My DH isn't exactly thrilled. 

When my DH travels for work, I dont get mad at him (he isn't choosing to leave) but it still really stresses me out.

H is out of town for 4 days as of tomorrow and it's gone better than expected, but still kind of awful. I hate single parenting. I will say, that I bartend at a hotel and it's interesting to meet all of the people who travel for weeks or months on end. I could not do that.
