I don't know how single moms do this.
DH is away on business and I'm EXHAUSTED.
I definitely take for granted how important the 5:00 hand-off can be. 
I felt like I ran out of things to do with him today. It wasn't a bath night, but I gave him one for the hell of it.
And I put him to bed at 7:30 instead of 8:00.
3 more days to go. 
But on the bright side, this is lots of mommy bonding time before daycare starts next week!!

Re: I don't know how single moms do this.
We've all had nights of not knowing what to do next. Your DH will be home before you know it though.

Re: I don't know how single moms do this.
I go from one extreme to the other. When Al's not traveling, he works from home, so he's VERY involved in Ella's care. But lately he's been gone 3-4 days a week! I feel like a single mom those days!

I know how you feel, DH working nights makes me ask the same question all the time.
Hats off to the single mom

Re: I don't know how single moms do this.
I swear, I had the same thought tonight... DH has a late night and I've been on my own since getting home from work today. DD has been super cranky this afternoon and wouldn't take a nap, so I did the whole bedtime routine much earlier than usual.
Hang in there.. just a few more days!

I hear you, Dh is deployed until more then likely after the baby is born. So it's just Jack and I. Luckily my Mom will be visiting next weekend :)

Re: I don't know how single moms do this.
My Dh travels a ton for work. It's so hard when he is away. We used to live in Westchester but moved back to LI to be near my family b/c I was always on my own.
that 5:00pm hand off is golden, even if its just for a 1/2 hour.

Re: I don't know how single moms do this.
DH was away this past weekend and that's all I could think of. Single moms have THE hardest job. Definitely hats off to them!

My girlfriend who was divorced used to say she wants only wants a husband so she can run to the store without lugging her daughter.
