My DH is away a lot and often works one day at the weekend (he is a hospital doctor and also in the RAF) I work three days a week and have ds 3.3 and dd 21 months. I really struggle having them for three or more days in a row on my own and my dh has said he thinks I should do four days a week at work. I am sad that I find three days alone with the children hard - I do love them but I often don't have much company when I'm looking after them, ds particularly needs entertaining a lot at the moment or his behaviour deteriorates. I am just feeling a bit alone in even considering this as I know there are lots of other people who are in similar situations. Just wondering how others cope/would cope in this position.

Has anyone increased their days at work rather than reducing them?
