    Yup another shift worler here! And I thought I was all alone

    DH runs our bakery so is in bed at 6 and leaves at midnight, gets home at about 10 am then back to bed, up at 1:30pm back to work then home at 4:30 dinner and back to bed! So Iget to see him for maybe an hour all up! And this is 6 days a week! so I really only get saturday night if I am lucky and sunday till 6

    Its so lonely and I am so worried when nudge comes cause I dont know how I will cope with no help

    To you all! xxx

    Know how you feel girls..

    My DP is gone @ 6am & is home anywhere between 7-11pm, sometimes later, for 6 days a week, sometimes 7..
    Some nights the kids don't even get to see him at all!

    Yep, sometimes. DH leaves at 6am and doesn't get home till 6pm. Thankfully we have him home most weekends (he works one in eight) and he spends a lot of time with the kids then.
