Happy Mother's Day 
Got two cards from my monsters (well remembered Daddy) and a lovely card from my DSD. She and I have had a bit of a rocky year, so that was v nice.
My DH will again be a part time SAHD and is very hands on. However, despite being extremely capable, he does tend to look to me as the parent ultimately "in charge".
VQ I totally agree, just go out. If there is too much build up, he will worry. If your DH just has to manage, he will. Like you do. He may not do things the way you do, but he is a different person / parent, and I have had to train myself to believe that different is not necessarily worse, noticed by DC or affects DC. Also, and I mean this in a really nice way, but dont be a martyr 
I am often accused of this, with some truth, and actually I think I know what luis means, that DHs need to be trusted and allowed to do it, even when some may initially seem reluctant / worried, but its a confidence thing. I was petrifed of dealing with both DC on own when DH went back to work, but I learned how to do it. DH needs the opportunity to learn.
I dont think I have expressed myself particularly well and dont want to offend anyone but I think I mean force your DH to learn how to cope without the safety net of you. Yes you will worry the whole time you are gone, the first time, but little and often as possible will breed confidence for both of you. Hugs,
