Hubby's work schedule just changed and now M-F he sees LO 30-40 minutes in the morning and that's it. I'm having a really hard time with it.

it depends on the week.
some weeks he gets 11 hours/day with the kids. (home all day, all week, all month with us).
some weeks he travels 2-4 days, but is home the rest of the week). -
It depends on his work schedule..
If he's home by 5:15, then he's got a good three hours with her.
Sometimes he works late, or on the weekends, and sometimes he travels. -
Most days, more than I do!
He has DS morning through 2/3pm. I get DS from daycare at 5:30 and the goal is to get him to bed by 8/8:30.
The weekends are all mine though
-
He'll have more time than I do with her during the week once I go back to work. He's a professor and only teaches 2 days/week so his schedule is super flexible.
-
It has been as little as 30 min a day as well over here. We do a lot of family stuff on the weekends so it's ok! Sorry you are feeling bummed out.
-
Right now DH has him from wake up (~8) to 3:00pm, then I come home from work and DH goes to work, so I get little man from 3 to 8pm. But weekends are pretty much all me, thats when DH usually tries to catch up on sleep from the nights he's at work until 4-5am.
-
He gets an hour in the morning if LO is up by 7am, then 45 min in the evening. He took a new job with a longer commute towards the end of last year and it's been a sore spot for us ever since. I hate how he misses dinner every night.
-
That stinks
DH is usually home by 4:45 and sees LO until it's bedtime around 7; he does bath/bedtime prep. We're really lucky to have this set up!
-
He has anywhere from a few hours to 0 hours, depending on his day. He works on the weekends a lot of the time too, so he doesn't even get a lot of full days right now. At least a couple times a week he will get up with him in the morning for an hour or so and then I can sleep in and they get boy time.
When I go back to work he will get more time during the week as he will be picking up from daycare 1-2 hours before I get home. By the time I get home it will be dinner and bed. Not looking forward to this.
-
He usually only gets to see her Friday morning for 10-20 mins in the am. Then an hour after befor bed. He leaves Monday morning before she wakes up and gets home Thursday after she is asleep. Weekends are super important to both of us.
-
Not much. Depending what time she wakes up he will spend maybe 10-20 minutes with her before he brings her to me to feed her- he's studying for an exam and will read study materials to her
In the evenings it's not much, half hour on a good night, none other nights. I think her bedtime needs to move earlier which will mean he doesn't see her a lot of nights, but it's his choice some nights since he goes to the gym. Weekends it depends.
@Smurfette: wow- that's got to be really tough on all of you!
-
It just depends on the day!
-
@ANDREA - thank you
@SMURFETTE - boy that sounds challenging!
@LITTLECASITA1122 - I totally hate that DH misses dinner too.
it's such a bummer.
-
SO gets an hour and half one on one in the morning. He sees lo's some evening for a few minutes, but not often.
-
Depends on the day but usually 2 hours at night. Gets home at 6 but then he totally takes over - feeds her dinner, gives her a bath, plays with her and puts her to bed.
Except Thursdays when he doesn't come home until midnight.
-
If he works the 7am shift then he goes to gym after work and doesn't really see her - maybe for an hour at most. If he starts at 930am then he goes to the gym in the morning so he can see her after he's home. It really bothers me that he chooses to go to the gym rather than see DD. He says it's because he works a high stress job and needs to vent out his stress. I think that family should be his focus. It's caused more than one fight between us. Sorry you're feeling bummed out:(
-
He usually sees them for about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening.
-
During his work week he gets about that much time, sometimes less (eta he works 12 hour days though!)! I SAH but I worked (very briefly..there were red flags at the job) and it was hard because we didn't even have the same work "week" and alternated days with dd and I just knew it wouldn't work long term. I'm not sure what we're going to do this summer/fall because I'll be working (for family though!) and he will be still on the weird schedules. I'm just hoping as our kid (and future kid) gets older it'll get easier.
-
@Foodnerd81: yep!! It is hard. I mean I only see her for an hour a day since she goes to bed so early. I make sure to send him lots of pictures and videos during the week.
-
Currently, she doesn't see him at all in the morning - he leaves for work at 7.30 and usually wakes her slamming the front door! Then, in the evenings, he has an hour and a quarter of potential time with her before she needs to go bed. He doesn't spend the whole hour and a quarter with her - he gets changed/sits on the toilet/lies on the bed for a while - but he does her bath every night so that makes up for it.
Conclusion - approx 1 hour a day.
-
All day! He's a SAHD. I see the kids 3-4 hrs/day, then all day on the weekends!
-
Depends on the day, but usually 30 min-hr in the morning if she's not sleeping and 1-2 hours at night. But some nights he's at work later and doesn't see her at all.
-
That stinks.
DH works early...5:30-2, so he and DS get home about the same from school/work and we all have plenty of time together before bedtime. It's pretty nice. He used to have it like yours...it's rough, cause he'd get home late and there would be days where he wouldn't ever see DS.
-
Maybe 30-45mins per day...usually in the evening as he does her bath.
-
A lot of time, we are very fortunate. His old jobs would have been much worse, I'm glad he took a lower paying job in exchange for more family time.
He works early mornings to mid-late afternoons, so he usually takes him for boys time or to the gym once he gets home. Once a week all day when I work, and usually one other weekday we are home together along with Sundays. He does bedtimes on nights I work and when I'm too tired. Hoping this makes a fairly smooth transition when #2 arrives.
-
None in the morning and maybe 20 mins at night a couple times a week, LO sleeps at 9 so he can even get that little time in. He works long hours at a high stress job so I can stay home. He is home most of the weekends and I send him photos during the day. I feel you on this, it's so hard to not even share a meal with your husband Monday-Friday.
-
More time than I will
he is starting his own business and will be home a couple days a week with LO.
-
We are really lucky because I am a SAHM and DH is a WAHD so both get tons of time with LO. He travels to the west coast for a week each month but we get lots of family time the remaining 3 weeks.
