When my H isn't doing back to back deployments or in the field for weeks at a time or out of town for some kind of school. His regular work day starts at 5am and ends anytime between 5pm and 8pm. I basically do everything and tend to not count on him being home, so I won't be disappointed later. It's much easier to do everything by myself since that's what I'm used to when he's gone. I don't resent him for it and it helps that DD is in school and is a big help to me when it comes to taking care of the baby. Now if I had two toddlers and or a difficult baby I would probably not feel the same and need a lot more help. On the weekends we tend to switch on who gets alone time. Last week I left the kids at home and went out with my friend all day. We went to the gym, sauna and jacuzzi, out for lunch, made a stop at ulta and then went to the salon. When I got back we went out together as a family for frozen custard. This weekend he is going out with his buddies to have a few beers and do guy stuff.
