Anyone work opposite shift as DH?
So Monday is the start of Scott working 2nd shift. He is loving his new job, and it is great to see him like going to work. Plus pay is much much better.
However, I am dreading this whole 2nd shift thing. We essentially will sleep together Tuesday through Saturday, and not see eachother besides that. I work normal business hours, and get home around 6. He will be getting home around midnight, and leaving for work at 2pm. I know this is not the end of the world, but it's not ideal either. Anyone else figured out how to make the most of a work schedule like this?
Re: Anyone work opposite shift as DH?
Not I personally, but my best friends husband is a Police Officer on late shifts and she works the normal business hours. I know it was hard on her at first, but right now, it works wonderfully for them. She gets her time, he gets his and they enjoy days off together...
I hope you guys figure out a way to work through this with out too much stress!
I do and it sucks.
My husband works 4 am to 2 pm and I work 12 pm to 9 pm. So when I get home he's sleeping and when I get up in the morning he is gone. It's ruff only being able to have the weekends to catch up. It's been like this for almost ayear and were managing, but it's still emotionally draining at times.
DH and I both have shift work. we both work nights, days and weekends. i usually end up working 2 nights a week (1pm to 10pm) and he mostly works 10 am to 9pm. there are times when im working 8 to 5 and he works 7 to 5 so we see each other at least one week a night. we try to get 1 day off a week together and so far its been almost every week that we've been able to do that.
it kinda sucks but you do that best you can to make it work. sometimes its nice to have a day/night off by yourself.
Yup. I work 4a-2p Su-W, DH mostly works 2-10p on a rotating schedule. We do this partly to make childcare easier, but also because I prefer to work days and DH prefers evenings. If we get 3 days off together a month, that's a lot. We've worked shifts like these for years, so we're used to it. It was definitely a LOT easier when it was just us . . . i.e. if DH had the day off, he'd sleep in, run errands or whatever, then we'd be able to do stuff together when I got home in the afternoon. Or if I had the day off, we'd be able to spend the morning together. Admittedly, we liked having the some time to ourselves without it being at the expense of the other. True, we can go for several days without seeing each other awake, but it is what it is and it's not all the time, so we deal.
The kids just add a whole other dimension. I think that if we weren't already used to a schedule/routine like this, it would be far more problematic for us now.
Good luck
