You'll get used to it. I used to miss mine when he was away too, but now I'm always asking when he's going again. Love having the bed all to myself and being able to feed the kids "breakfast for dinner".

I'd love to have pancakes for dinner sometimes but he looks at me like I've got two heads!

Re: Hubbies away
When my husbands away I finally get to make some of the things that I like to eat and he doesn't. Like spaghetti, pizza, stir fry, or basically anything interesting other than meat and potatoes.
So yah, I do enjoy a little bit of me time!

Do you remember the egg campaign a few years ago where they where the egg board was advertising "breakfast for dinner"? Ron couldn't understand why anyone would want bacon & eggs or pancakes for dinner, but I love it. Do you also remember the really wrinkly guy who used to do the ads for eggs?

This reminds me I have this ongoing debate with my inlaws (they're farmers). They insist on calling lunch "dinner" and they call dinner "super". I've never heard of anyone calling lunch "dinner", it's very confusing when we're at they're place!

Re: Hubbies away
this is a yorkshire thing too ... lunch is dinner ..... and so were school dinners.
Main meal of the day was around 5pm and called tea ....... a late meal was supper.
My kids get confused sometimes when I take them back and my mum asks them what they want for tea.

Re: Hubbies away
back to original topic - I too have an OH who travels a lot. I used to be upset when he left and preferred it when he left in the middle of the night or early morning when I was still sleeping and didn't see him leave.
Now it doesn't matter what time he leaves as it doesn't bother me anymore. I like a week to myself and do loads of stuff whilst he is gone and the kids are in bed ........... though I admit this often happens to be sitting on the phone to someone in the UK with a bottle of wine by my side - lol !
If he's gone longer than a week then it gets a bit boring - especially the weekends.
The only times it really bothers me is if I am feeling poorly or ill ........ then it's a pain as you know that you can't send the kids to Daddy but have to get up and do everything by yourself - no matter how under the weather you are feeling !

Re: Hubbies away
My oh has just returned to working off shore after a break of 5 years and god am I finding it hard going at times. I could and do cope with him being away but right now I am just finding it hard going being on my own with the kids in a new Country.
The kids have had there moments and I have to just grin and bear it, I have lost count of the times that I have threatened to tell their dad how naughty or cheeky they have been but I guess we all do this when the oh is not around.
Mind you after he has been back a few weeks, I look forward to him going away, having the bed to myself and not having to listen to his snoring......
