Any rig wifes/gf out there?

Question

Just wondering if I'm not the only one. Being a rig wife/gf can have it's pros and cons especially if you are tcc or with child. Wondering how everyone copes with their man being gone and what do you do to help pass the time? Or anything else you'd like to share :)

Answer

Right here! :) luckily his rig moved to only 30 mins out of town so he's home everyday/night depending if it's day shift week or night shift week. I feel super lucky. I can't imagine when it moves to another city again, gonna be so hard to re adjust to him being away for weeks all over again :(

Answer

I'm a rig child. My dad worked on a month on/month off since before I was born until after I moved away after college.

Answer

I'm an oil field wife! Currently 22+2 with baby #1. My husband is on call 24/7 365, and so he's not gone for weeks at a time. Worst that'll happen is he'll get called out, and be on pad for 36 hours, but we've acclimated to it and are used to it. He helps around the house a ton, and is excited to help with the baby when he's born in August. It's hard being apart for even a couple of days, but we've adjusted!

Answer

My husband worked 1300 miles away from me most of my pregnancy last year.
