My ex-husband had a job a lot like your husbands. In addition he had TDY and sometimes would be gone for anywhere from a week to 3 months.

So I painted, wall papered, designed garden and planted everything from ground cover to shrubs, and did the normal cooking, cleaning, shopping and care for daughter. If I had waited for him to do certain jobs according to stereotype description I'd still be waiting.

My Dad was in the Navy when I was little. He was gone 6 mo's at a time. So I was accustomed to my Mother running the home and doing what needed to be done. Probably because of that background I never thought twice about doing various things. Or hiring someone to do things I was not knowledgeable enough to handle, like plumbing work.

Each family creates the set up that works for them, hopefully.

Take care.
