Husband leaves wife alone with their 2-year-old and 4-month-old baby for a 2-week-long hunting trip, wife desperate for a compromise: ‘It’s insane to stick [your] wife with solo parenting just [to] burn money for fun.’

How difficult can solo-parenting be?

If your answer is anything other than «extremely difficult,» then you don’t understand parenting. There is a reason single parents get a lot of praise, and people say «it takes a village» to raise kids. Raising children on your own is not easy. I would go so far to say that it is the hardest position you could ever work. When a couple becomes new parents, it should be known that neither of them is taking any long trips away from each other any time soon. If they have to leave the other, for instance, for an immovable work trip, then you have to help prepare the other for solo parenting. Hire a nanny, a cleaner, invite the grandparents to come help, something! 

Unfortunately, this husband is unaware of this important fact of parenting and is prioritizing a 2-week-long hunting trip with his friends over helping his postpartum wife with their 2-year-old and 4-month-old children… What would you do in that situation?
