DH working 2 jobs so I can focus..

[sashadoll]

My DH is working two jobs so that we can provide for our 2 boys. I have had a rough pregnancy I own a daycare but basically had to let all my kiddos go bc I just don't have the energy and mindset to deal with all the kids. So he took on two jobs and last night he worked 8 hrs with a two hour break before another 8 hr he came home ate got dressed and left than had another 2 hr break to go back to his first job. My son hasn't seen him since yesterday I had a hard time sleeping he won't be home til 3 to sleep than go back to work at midnight I don't know how I'm going to deal. Any ladies relating...

Well, my Dh has his job and a long commute, and then is busy with his father doing building work to get our new house ready. I'm at home and only see him a bit before going bed, he is also stressed out and tired which makes it all harder

I can relate! It is rough for me too, but at least I get a couple hours each night to spend with him before he goes to bed. He is really bad at going to bed when he is supposed to. He gets only 4 hours of sleep a night just so he can spend some extra time with me. I keep telling him not to do it, but he wont' listen to me!!

I can relate also, my OH works long hours, although he only has the one job, sometimes I only see him for around two hours then it's bed time or he is either heading out to work for the night, sometimes I'm already in bed fast asleep by the time he's home too. I don't know anyone where we live either so it's quite tough finding things to do through out the day x

I know what you mean. My DH has been great from the day we got married working hard to provide for us. When I started school and had to quit working it was a huge financial burden, but he worked so hard and did so well working late hours and side jobs so we could pay our bills. Now that we are finally pregnant he continues to work hard so that hopefully when the baby comes I can cut back working full time and only work part time!

Its so hard, but I'm sure it wont be forever we can do this. We just have to remember we HAVE to take time to let them know how much they are appreciated and loved. Maybe buying or making him a card to let him know, or buying him a special treat that he loves. Something little can go a long way for men just as it can for women

Thanks ladies. I see he is so tired and it makes me tired. Ugh I appreciate him bc lord knows I just can't do much right now. We can do this. My son and I actually made him a card he started crying he never cries!

Aww that's so sweet and I'm sure that card made him want to work even harder for his family!
