My wife left me...

... for a week and a half trip.

I am such a jerk that I gave her a really hard time about it.

It's hard for me to take care of the kids alone and do everything she does.

Oh well!

Could be worse, could be raining!

Take comfort in the fact that this is at least one week they won't have to go to the meetings....

You can do it! She probably needs a break and It'll do you good to be reminded how hard she works!

You have no idea how much your wife will appreciate the time away. This is your golden opportunity to score some major brownie points. You are a good man for doing this.

Don't be like the dad who nearly starved to death while his wife was away (I think they subsisted on Cheerios, Doritos, and McDonald's) only to have his wife return to open the FREEZER to display a week's worth of home cooking, all labelled and ready to go.

That was kinda funny until I thought about those on the board who are having real issues with spouses.

I love the company of kids. I must be a glutten for punishment! Except when they kick off at each other without forgiving - then it's a reminder of the adult world!

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that it works out for the best. Hang in there.

If I lived nearby I'd come give you a hand, I'm a single stay @ home dad, and I know the drill!

I bet your wife will be a nervous wreck worried about what's going on while she's not there! I hope she enjoys her vacation and you get the hang of it all!
