CP 2: Partner solo parenting

[hermione]

60+. At least one day a week, usually more.

ETA: I'm assuming by day you mean an 8 hour work day and not a 24 hour period. If not, I've screwed up your poll.

[origami]

Like day + night or does most of a day count?

ETA: if overnight then he did zero days. If just the day part then 6-10 days-ish.

[bananapancakes]

Zero but this will hopefully be remedied later this month.

[spk926]

5 days a year.

Open house night and 4 conference nights. But that's not all day. I get her up, dressed and to daycare. He picks her up and does dinner and bedtime. So really it's only like 3-3 1/2 hours.

A full day where he's solo parenting from wake-up to bedtime? It's happened once is 2.5 years. I went on a girls weekend and left Friday night and was back Sunday afternoon.

I think around 14 for DH. Combination of weekends away and work trips.

Full days? 0 so far. When I leave its typically only for 4-6 hours at a time, or its on days when DH is at work.

Will be 2 full days this week as I'm leaving for girls only vacation on Thursday

1. DS is 4 months old. I stayed at MIL's a couple weekends ago to get some uninterrupted sleep.

[Velar Fricative]

3 days thanks to my recent work trip. That was my first overnight work trip and there will be more to come next year.

[gibbinator]

Like full days? Not since summer of 2013 when I went back to work after mat leave and we didn't have daycare over the summer.

He'll be taking care of both kids for 2 weeks end of August when I go back to work post mat leave with ds2.

Eta : I lied. He had to take care of ds2 for 2 days (except when he needed to nurse) while I took on some work 2 weeks ago.

[bowies]

0, but that doesn't mean I don't want to travel.

[MadamePresident]

Hahaha a big fat 0 in our almost 3 years of having children

[tulips]

3 when I traveled for work last Sept. It was just X then as I was 34-ish weeks KU with K.

I think he'll get his first crack at solo parenting both kids this fall. My friends and I are trying to coordinate a trip to AZ to see a friend who recently moved.

0. I have travelled without DH and the kids, but not in the last year.

[glitzy07]

I think 7-8 full days where I was out of town. But H definitely does the lion's share of solo parenting on a regular basis, in that he has C for several hours every day after work until I get home.

[swimmette]

Lofl...0.

[sh10]

Sadly, 0. I would love to do a girls weekend this fall for my bday, but I'm not sure that's financially possible for me or the other girls.

[Deleted]

Zero.  I need a girls' weekend. Or just a random weekend away by myself! Lol

[cincodemayo]

Id say 6-12. I did 3 girls weekends last year and 2 this year with a random night here and there thrown in.

[aspentosh]

1-5. I get away every couple months, usually for a full day.

[lindsaymg]

11-20 for my work travel.

[matildasun]

My husband gave me a night alone in a bed and breakfast for my birthday in March. It was lovely.
He is about to watch them for 4 days while I go see Phish.

[Blue Moon]

Zero.

[Willis Jackson]

Technically zero because the ILs' was his destination but I think DH should get credit for taking all 3 kids (including a lap baby) on 4 flights solo. Bonus points being nonchalant about it.

[purplecow0206]

8 days this year for our annual work trip.

[linz]

An entire day? 0

0. I'm hoping to go on a girls weekend this fall, and he'd be alone with both kids from after work Friday until Sunday afternoon.

He had just DD1 for 3 or 4 days about a year and a half ago, but I had DD2 with me (she was still nursing and I was going to a family funeral).

I'm actually not sure he's ever taken both kids out by himself. He's perfectly capable of it (and he takes DD1 a lot -- and did even when she was tiny). But on the weekends we're either dividing and conquering or doing stuff as a family.

[jeaniebueller]

0. But he will be doing 2 nights in two weeks. I have a fair amount of girls nights but not 24 blocks.
