late again :(

MeganNN12 · December 2013

DH called a little while ago and said he was still at school grading papers and couldn't leave yet. That was @ 6:15. I love him so much for all he is doing for our family so I can stay at home. It makes me sad and want to cry when he is gone from 6:30am until 8pm. He never gets to spend any time with Abby and I during the week and has no time to himself. I just want to cry. I don't know how you ladies and gent spend so much time away from your husbands and wife. I could never be part of a military family. Nope.

Anyone else here?

I had hamburger helper for dinner and now Abby is taking her last nap of the day on me.

I'm here.

Reminds me of when Joy had to work from 11am to 8pm and I was working 6am to 2pm. We did it because she needed work experience in this country and they were willing to hire her. Even now we're having problems because they look at her resume and most of her experience is in Thailand.

It sucks. Are you guys able to text?

That stinks! They should go by her work ethic and not the country she worked in.

It was like this when I taught and he was a production assistant for the local fox evening/nightly news. I didn't mind so much when it was just us, but with a baby it stinks. He just left and will be home by 8:( We got rid of texting to save money. Actually, he never had texting

I think it's more the issue that they want to call her previous employers and well, they're not calling Thailand. Especially when they might not speak English. That's my guess anyway.

J and I chat on gmail throughout the day. I just always have it up when I am at work. Most times I am not even paying attention to it, but its nice to know that I can just message him on there. If he is at his desk, he'll answer. If he isn't there...no big deal.

It works for us, and we also don't have children. We make the most of our weekends when we can.

Mostly the same as Jen. It is easier to put the times we see each other. Usually from 4-5:30 pm and then 7:30-8:15 am. It's part of the reason that I have no interest in having a baby yet. I know that would mean basically being a single mother, and I don't know if I will ever be ready for that.

I see T for about ten minutes when he gets home at 4am. And then when he gets up around 2pm for about an hour until he leaves for work. Really the only day I see him for any length of time is Sunday. It sucks, but not anything we can do about it right now. Plus, at this point I'm used to it.

I guess what makes it hard is last year we worked in the same school and carpooled with eachother. We were with each other all the time. Then over the summer when Abby was born he was with me until August. I had a hard time adjusting when he went back to work, but got over it after the first few of months. I know him working and getting home late is the reality right now and I can deal with it. I just don't like it. We are really hoping he can get hired in town next school year at a school with better hours so he doesn't spend 2 hours a day driving.

At times I do feel like a single mom. I told that to dh once and he corrected me saying I'd having to be working and taking care of Abby alone to be a single mom. Anyway, vent over.

late again :(
