Bill leaves tomorrow morning at about 5 for the site. He'll be gone for 8 days. I'm trying to pretend that it will be fine and I'll have lots of fun and games with the boys. But the truth is, I'm a fucking disaster area when he's gone.

We've got to do this for 5 years.

Deep breath. Make some more friends.

I don't know how you do it Alison, seriously. I have a blind panic when Bob's an hour later home from work because by that point I'm practically catatonic.

*hugs*

I would forget the fun and games ambition and settle for the same old routine, got through as smoothly as possible. It's not supposed to be a holiday/anarchy time/make it up to them with treats time just because Bill has gone away. This is *ordinary* time, you know?

Take it from someone who was a one out of every two weeks part time mum for years. Routine and discipline? Keep it the same, whether dad is there or not. In some way it's easier with just one parent because there's no one for a disgruntled kid to appeal to, lol.

Yeah I am a mean mum. Seems to work for me though, and the kids still seem to love me. :-)
