DH loves his job and is very very good at it which helps.
Mine is never gone on business overnight but he's gone 12-15 hours per day Monday-Saturday. And often he goes out in the evenings with his friends. I have two kids 4 and 1 year old that I am home with. It's tiring sometimes.
Not quite the same as you but I can understand DH being gone alot.

Well, i actually think i got some sleep last night, im still breasfeeding fulltime so she nurses when she needs to during the night... When hubby is gone she sleeps with me so I can get sleep.
Shes been on table food since 6 months along with whole milk with meals and she still likes her boob!!!
My husband travels Monday through Friday. It's not easy but I've gotten used to it, and it's definitely better now that the boys are older (9, 7, and 5). We don't have any frequent flyer points because he always drives (we live in Georgia and his sales territory is Alabama, so he can drive). But we do have lots of hotel points, so that's good.

No, but mine has crazy work hours. On average 2 nights/week, he works an overnight shift 10 - 6, but he usually doesn't get home until closer to 9, because he works through morning rounds. So then he sleeps half the day when he gets home. Sometimes he is called out in the middle of the night, sometimes he works overtime very late. On Monday nights he teaches a class. He's gone a lot, and I have 4 kids--including 2 year-old twin daughters--so I know it can be very tiring.
That must be rough for you to have him gone every other week. I can't imagine. You have my sympathies!! Come here & gripe whenever you need to.

Sometimes hes gone for 2 weeks, 3 times in the last 2 years he has been gone for 3 weeks straight... We live in Calgary Alberta and the business he does is in the states...
Anyway when i was 3 months preg with #3 Isabella will be 1 on May 17... he was gone a whole month! Now that was hard, he said he would not do that again!! LOL I said you;d better not if you want to stay married!!
