Advice on DP working away Mon-Fri

[DreamingofSunshine]

For a variety of reasons, DH is going to have to work away Mon-Fri until summer 2020. It's a short domestic flight from where we live, so he'll fly in Friday night and back Sunday night (WFH not possible).

DS is 2 and settled in nursery, I'm having medical treatment and at university which is why we can't move. My parents are 5 minutes away by car and MIL is 10 minutes away, and both are pretty good at helping.

Just looking for tips/advice on what we can do to manage the distance. DH already gets home once DS is in bed so his routine won't change much, but I'm worried I'll be lonely in the evenings.

Remember you own the remote. It was the best bit about dh being away - I had sole control of the TV.

I now have a job to prise it out of his hands, and to watch something I want to see!

Thanks all, it's really good to hear so many positive things. I wish I wasn't ill but I appreciate that I'm very lucky in other ways.
