Fun, Fairness, and Fights

So - this afternoon JB leaves for England for 6 weeks. Carter is already being a little terror, acting out because he knows today is the day. How else, besides preparing him 3-4 days in advance, could I let Carter know that his dad is back to traveling without these tantrums? I know how the little dude feels. I'm currently feeling like having my own tantrums, and picking my own fights with JB. That's not fun or fair. Somedays - it's just not fun being a girl.
