I feel your pain.
My OH doesn't work nights but he may as well. He works 6.30am-6.30pm with an hour's drive each way. He works 5 days in a row and then off for 4. When he's working, I feel like a single mum. He leaves at 5.30am in the morning and doesn't come home till 7.30pm Some days he only sees LO for 10 minutes.
It's getting really hard now as well, as I always made dinner for him coming home but LO gets so unbelievably grumpy at 7pm now and will scream the place down as he's tired. So I've got to try get dinner made, bath LO, feed him and put him to bed. Some nights I'll just stick on some pasta for OH but I hate the thought of him not getting a good dinner.
He's also great with LO and when's he off, he gets up with him in the mornings, takes him out and puts him to bed at night, so I'm really lucky but I just wish he had a 'normal' job with better hours. Needs must though.
