CP: Solo parenting

[bananapancakes]

Lots and lots and lots.

[ECB]

60+. DHs work schedule is the culprit.

[panicked]

60+ days for sure. My husband is military.

[ssmjlm]

Are we counting sick days or overnight?

[timorousbeastie]

I think H has been gone for maybe 6-10 days total for work trips throughout the year. Adding in days where he doesn't get home until after DD is in bed, I'm probably at around 30 days or so for solo parenting, maybe a little more.

[bananapancakes]

I just sort of figured it out. Somewhere in the 200-225 range. It was a rough year but hopefully it'll never be like that again.

[ssmjlm]

0 for me. DH has never been away from E overnight.

That will change when he works Saturday night into Sunday next weekend.

[spk926]

DH takes a 10 day hunting trip yearly and then there are other days thrown in throughout the year too. Probably 30-40?

[holly116]

A bunch. I can think of four 9-10 chunks at a time so probably close to the 60 day mark total. It's significantly less than it was a few years ago though.

edit:  I rounded low and voted 31-60 in the poll.  

[isabel]

So far, 5 nights. DS is 4 months old. H had to go on a trip at the beginning of the month for his doctoral program.

[pinkdutchtulips]

2 1/2 years and counting ....

[origami]

50-60 days for me. But much of that was my doing because I took the kids to see family while he stayed at home to work.

This. 

[bowies]

Neither of us has spent a night away from DS.

[Velar Fricative]

I think 3 days. Not work-related, they were social trips.

[tulips]

5-ish.

[heygrey]

None with your technicalities, but lots of days where I get zero kid help from h because of our work schedules.

It's enough to make me appreciate that he never has to travel oot for work.

[MadamePresident]

I am somewhere close to 30 maybe a little more.

[mlt]

Um I think he's been gone for about three weekends this year? So six to eight days. I've been gone more than he has - he's probably solo parented for twenty days.

[sh10]

In the 6-10 range, DH had two business trips in the last six months.

[andthentherewere10]

My husband hasnt been home 10 consecutive days since February.

[gibbinator]

Probably 5 weeks worth all together. Dh frequently has to go away for 3-5 days for work sessions, coaching etc.

[hbomdiggity]

0, but DS is only 6 weeks old.

And H just mentioned earlier today that he is beginning to plan a work trip for September. Cue my freak out. He thinks he can get away with just one week instead of the usual two weeks.

[cincodemayo]

About once a week because he works double shifts, 3p-7a. He usually goes on 1-2 man trip weekends per year.

[redpenmama]

H traveled 8 weeks straight for part of the week last fall, along with several other 2-4 day trips. So, I'm guessing 40 or so days.

[aspentosh]

A full 24hrs? I think 0. He doesn't travel for work and none of his friends are getting married/having crazy overnight parties, etc.

[lindsaymg]

60+. H travels 2-3 days a week most weeks.

[lauralala]

8 or 9 days I think. This time last year DS and I were still in our old house during the week so that I could finish out my job, and only seeing DH on weekends. That changed mid-August, though, and he hasn't had a day since then without seeing both of us at some point.

[purplecow0206]

I put 31-60. My H had a bunch of work trips this past year, but with his new position, he travels soon much less. I am so glad about that.
