My husband has a side job of beekeeping and his beehives are at his family’s cabin, 3 hours away. It’s a business because we make some money from it (not a lot at all) but it’s also a hobby bc he truly enjoys it. It just takes up a LOT of time. I used to go with him while he checked on them but his parents always go there when we go, and lately I can’t stand my in laws (long story). It’s their house too so we can’t really tell them not to go. He needs to go prepare the hives for winter or risk losing them. It would take like 5 hours of the whole weekend (he’d go Saturday morning-Sunday night)

We have a 3.5 month old baby and it’s obviously a lot of work to take care of him. He’s up throughout the night to eat or just needing attention. So I will be left home alone with baby while he’s with his parents. They wait on him hand and foot and treat him like royalty, of course all meals are cooked for him and it’s like a vacation for him. They treat him like a baby. Meanwhile I’ll be home alone doing taking care of our baby alone. I’m a SAHM so I look forward to the weekend bc I have help during the day and I can get other stuff done.

My husband said if he gets a weekend away then I should, too. But I don’t want to leave for a weekend, I’d rather be home. So I’m wondering what a good compromise would be? I’m thinking of giving him overnights for the week before or after. I still EBF but at least he could handle the other wakeups?
