if a husband tells his wife that he just wants to be with the kids this weekend what does that mean? and is it normal in a marriage for the husband to work all the time and never see his wife or kids during the week?

That sounds a little fishy to me. I would investigate. Your kids could be in danger or he may be cheating on you.

Let him be with the kids this weekend if that is what he wants. However i would be asking him why he wants to be with the kids only and not with you. Ask him why and see what he says. No it is not normal for a guy to work all the time and never see you guys during the week. Sounds to me like he is either a workaholic or he is having an affair somewhere with someone. Find out where he is planning on taking the kids and what his plans are with them. Be careful as he might take them and file for divorce and you just never know. Just be very aware and careful!

My first response is what does he want to do with the kids this weekend? Is he taking his sons on a fishing trip? That would be fine. If not, where does he expect you to be this weekend? Sounds a little odd to me.....
I was in a marriage where my husband went to work, then spent time with his friends and his family (mother, father, brother) after work instead of me and the kids. He was not having an affair but also was not holding up his end of the marriage bargain. He refused to face his responsibilities and it ruined our marriage. Where is your husband that he is working all the time? Does he work 2 jobs? This too sounds a little odd to me..........

This is more of an opinion question hun, but I will be happy to share my opinion. It would be normal for him to want to spend some time with the kids alone, because that not only gives him bonding time, but a night out for you!! Just what I have always wanted!! As far as the work goes, it depends on the kind of work he is in. MY hubby does construction and sometimes it is midnight before he gets home. If he ususally gets home earlier and his schedule is a set 9-5 type job, then yeah, that's bad.

You your self is the best judge for it and his behaviour with you and your children would only throw some light where is the fault.
How ever if every thing is positive ie if he is true to you, he needs your love and comfort . He wants to share his emotional love to his children.
It may be that he wants to earn some extra bugs for the comfort of you all that he is unable to give much time during the week.
If he has some extra affair then its really bad, that all you will be the first person to judge for his behaviour towards you(on/off the bed) I dont know how, but females do come to know some how of her husbands illict relationship. His behaviour as whole changes towards family. He cant spare money to the same range, his expenditure would rise and irritational activity would increase.

Doesn't sound normal - maybe he really misses his kids but if he is not trying to have any affection with you something is not right. I would definitely try to talk about it, this way you will not be in denial and you can find out what is really wrong. Sometimes people have different needs in marriage and it's ok, it just needs to be discussed so you can meet halfway.

Sounds like he just wants to spend quality time with the kids and re-connect with them. If he works a lot, this is something positive. If you think he works too much why not sit down with him and let him know how you feel? Good Luck!

Well, the mans busy- not that its GOOD to be like that, but Its partically normal, if he works alot then i wouldnt expect him to spend much time with you guys, but to answer if he just wants to spend weekend with the kids- well, He just feels bad for them, he'll spend time with you at another time, but i think you should just let him get caught up- see if you can help him at all!

Depends on his job. If he travels alot then yes he would not see his wife or kid during the week.

depends on the situation, if he is truly working hard to support his family then yes its possible. does she work or are all the bills his responsibility ? cuz if she isnt helping financially then he would have to put in a lot of hours, and what kind of work does he do ?
