... after he leaves for the week, she is a total mess -- temper tantrums, acting out, crying, yelling, the whole nine yards.
DEAR ANNIE: My husband and I have two kids, a 3-year-old and 6-month-old. My husband drives a semi, so he’s on the road and usually gone Monday through Friday. Occasionally, he leaves Sunday afternoons depending on the weather and where he’s headed.
I keep our days busy enough to keep her active but not overstimulated. It breaks my heart, especially tonight when she said, “It’s all my fault daddy had to leave” while crying her little heart out. I just sat with her and hugged her while explaining it wasn’t her fault at all. I don’t like seeing her like this. When he is home, she is glued to him and they do spend lots of time together.
It sounds like you’re doing what you can to support her -- and big kudos to you. Being a stay-at-home mom with two young kiddos and a husband who travels as much as yours can’t be easy. You didn’t mention phone calls with your husband while he’s away. Work permitting for him, of course, daily chats will give your girl something to look forward to until she can see him in person again.
