I can come home and we will both be mad, or I can stay at the camp and just you will be mad.

Although my wife is understanding, I reserve the right to use this saying should she regress. Now she just gets pissed when I come home without anything to cook. Gotta shoot a rabbit or a couple squirrels every now and then just to keep her happy.

I left to go offshore (fishing) when my wife was 8.5 months pregnant with our first. She asked if it was going to be the same once the baby came. I told her maybe, but once the baby was 5 he/she would be coming with me. She replied "I guess I knew this when I married you."

To the OP, it's a cycle. For a while she'll be home with the baby. Then one day the baby will be old enough to go to the camp, and she'll have the weekends to play. Then the kids turn into teenagers that don't hunt like they should, and you'll have the weekends to yourself again. Get the best out of each phase, because when it's gone, it's gone.
