MoosMa, you still there? I'm on my own this evening, DH off playing poker , only with his mates though. Headed ooop North earlier this afternoon.
There was me thinking i'd have a nice evening to myself - only managed to get DS off to sleep at ten to nine ! My fault, he had a late nap after a lovely play at the park today.
Think Nov 05 best left alone, clearly all a bit raw still for them to have overreacted like that!
Starshine, when I travel with work, DH puts on his superdad hat and manages without me. DS already goes to nursery full time - Mon to Fri routine is DH gets up at 6.40ish and dives in the shower, I get up and put fresh nappy on DS and dress him, let the dog out for morning constitutional, and make sure DS has a bag packed for nursery. (Yeah, yeah, if I was organised, I'd do it the night before, blah, blah....). DH comes downstairs, I present him with DS, they leave at 7.20 and DS gets dropped at nursery at 7.30 and he has his breakfast there.
I then have shower, get dressed etc and go to work. Leave work at 5, collect DS by about 25 past, then home by 25 too. Let the dog out again (I let her back in again this morning, btw ) and sort DS some tea out. DH gets home about 6.15.
The only thing that changes when I go away with work is that DH packs DS bag the night before, gets up 10 minutes earlier and if DS is still asleep then he gets on with shower, and if he's awake, he just takes him into the bathroom with him with some toys and DS plays whilst he showers.
So really, bugger all difference if I'm here or not.
Sorry for major post - I don't think we do anything special...just don't have much time for anything else.
