DH has been away, family emergency so was unplanned, and tonight is our third night apart. He will be home tomorrow. I've been at home with DS(19mo). I was so scared and worried about DH going away but honestly we've coped really well, and DS has been a delight.
He has just gone to bed and I've collapsed onto the sofa "for ten minutes" before I start doing any housework, so I can listen out for him to make sure he has gone to sleep. Except now I don't want to get up 
there's been minimal housework to do as lovely DH woke up early the morning he left and cleaned everywhere and sorted the laundry. So all I need to do is out DS's toys away, take the bin out, and stick dinner on. Leftover roast chicken in a curry sauce, as easy as it gets.
But no. I am going to just lay here on the sofa for a other half an hour at least, lying to myself that it's because I'm so exhausted after 3 days of solo parenting, when in actual fact it's been a breeze!
(No offence intended to actual single parents- obviously that it a thousand times more difficult than a partner going away for a few nights!)
