Question

Answer

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets oober lonely thanks ladys

Answer

My husband works 8pm - 6:30am. There's nothing easy about it, but I'm happy to have him do this rather than when he was an over the road truck driver. 
Now he's either at work or asleep, but he still has dinner with us. Gives the kids some daddy time that they need. 
As far as any advice, I say, find what comforts you. I can't stay up all night and sleep all day because of kids so I let him camp in my bed on the nights my husband is working. I get the comfort of someone with me. Good luck to you.

Answer

My hubby works 12 hour swing shifts. I'm a SAHM to our 4 kids. I definitely miss him when he's on nights! We just try to make the best of it, and adapt our routine so we can have as much time together as possible when he's off and not sleeping.

Answer

My husband has had the same 3rd shift job for 12 years and we have been together for 9 years and married for 4. So the whole 9 years he leaves at 6:30 pm and gets back between 5-9am. When we first moved in together that's how I felt lonely and sad and bored. Well I was pregnant( we concieved our daughter the day we moved in together). So about 9 months into it I something to occupy my time. But we were on his schedule. I can't sleep without him beside me, so I sleep during the day while my daughter is at school.

Answer

When my husband worked 7pm to 7am every day I was so sad all the time. Because it was twelve hours a day he didn't have time to do anything at home but eat and sleep. It got very lonely.

Answer

What really sucks is my husband works from 7am til 4:30 pm comes home eats dinner then goes to Mason's till midnight some nights!! It sucks!! Then lately he has had to travel every couple of weeks for work and he's gone for a week.
