Do you or your SO work nights?

Question

Just wondering how you handle the weekends. I’m a stay at home mom and my husband works nights for 12 weeks (and then days for six weeks).  Anyways: I like to spend time as a family on his days off but his “days” off are really more like nights off because he’s still on his  ‘sleep during the day’ schedule. 
I get that it’s not logical to expect his body to readjust to being up during the day on his two days off per week. So I’m just wondering how other couples/families end up getting to spend time together when one person works nights.

Answer

I used to work nights. On weekends I would try and get up earlier but it’s a hard adjustment. My husband also adjusted by doing things later. I got up a little earlier and he stayed up a little later. It was a good compromise

Answer

Similar situation as you. My husband is a police officer and works night shift for 4-weeks then day shift 4-weeks. So we get a little more daytime together every other month. When he‘s on nights though he still tries to adjust to daytime during his days off. Basically means he’s just tired and not much of a help for the entire month of night shift. 
I’m not sure if I’m helping you at all with your question. Just wanted you to know I’m in a similar boat as you. I work 4 days a week, so we really don’t get a lot of time off together.
