OT: Am I being a baby?

made the worst choice ever... switched to midnights so i can spend more time with him....yes... im with him all day now... however its not quality time.... im a walking zombie all time... ( i should have been to bed 2 hrs ago).. but cant cause hes up playing and nap time looks like its nowhere in the time coming...im going back to my old shift come jan..and will put him back with the sitter he had... i would rather be broke then miserable.

Your a super trooper even attempting to do midnights - I could never do that EVER! I remember reading your post when you said you were going to midnights I thought wow she is brave....and being pregnant your my hero!

i understand for i am dealing with the same issues now. i am an army wife. the key is the super strength us military wives are supposed to have. let me know when you find it, i can definately use some right now. but good luck

I won't find it but if you do send it my way, I'm a cry baby for sure! There are some military wives who are always so happy and cheerful....are they on good medication or a good front? LOL

Yup, you are such a baby Vanessa. I mean raising 2 kids while hubby is gone. Sheesh how can you stand it? (Note: TONS of sarcasm here. I mean the words are soaked in it.)

Ya need to do what you need to do. I am a lucky one and for now, do not see day care in the future if we have a baby. I work from 7 to 12 or 1ish at night and hubby works 7:30 to 4 during the day. We are really blessed to have opposite schedules.

Good luck hun. Sorry I don't have any advice.

I have tossed around the idea of going to 2cd shift but since DH does not have a set schedule I would have to count on my mom and I just don't want to do that. I am going to try and suck it up,maybe just drink so more coffee!

Vanessa,

Sorry I'm chiming in a little late. I grew up in a military family, so I saw my Mom do the Super Military Wife thing- it's a front in my opinion. I think the daycare thing is so hard!! Spending the money really sucks too. My daughter did the daycare thing for the first year or so- but I had a hard time finding one I liked and that we could afford, so I was lucky that DH was able to switch hours, so we work opposite shifts now. It has been working really well. It's the best way to go I think, if it's possible. I know it isn't always possible. Hopefully you'll find a good solution.

good front. nothing is ever 100% peachy in military world!
