Let me just give a little advice. If your wife is like me, at home with 3 kids ALL THE TIME, she not only needs a break but she will want to hear you say, (please quote me) "Honey I don't know how you do it. You make it look easy. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us." And she in turn should be thankful you are taking care of it all while she's gone.
I went to NYC for 3 days and when I got back I so wanted to hear my hubby acknowledge how hard it is, tell me I'm doing great. Didn't happen. But I do think he understands why I drink so much!
Good luck!
