Anyone else have a partner that works the night shift? Pretty much feeling like a single parent these days. My husband is gone from 5pm to 5am for 4, sometimes 5, days a week. Then he comes home and goes right to bed. I get my son ready for bed, fight for him to go to sleep, do all the night feedings, and everything during the day too, plus during the day I have to try and keep my son quiet so my husband can sleep. Our feedings are a pretty long process- my son breastfeeds, then gets a bottle to make the difference because he has a hard time getting milk from the boob, then i pump, then i have to wash the bottles/ pump parts. It takes about 90 minutes on a good day alone. My son only sleeps if he's on me so during the day when I set him down I have a very limited amount of time to do a very long list of things like taking care of our 3 animals, the house, and myself. Sometimes I have to choose between feeding the dog or peeing, or cleaning up cat puke or eating. Showers are especially hard to get in because in order to hear my baby if he starts crying I have to set him in our bedroom and when he starts to scream he wakes my husband up. On my husband's day off he'll hold the baby for an hour or two while I run around like a crazy person doing all the things I haven't been able to do all week like cleaning and laundry, which I feel like I should do because he hasn't seen his kid all week but I really just want to take a shower and have a break. He wants me to go back to work next week but I've told him repeatedly I'm not getting enough sleep or time to look presentable to go back until April at the earliest. I work 10+ hour shifts and I'd have to get myself and the baby ready to go alone plus still get him ready for bed by myself, get up with him alone at night, and somewhere find the time to cook and clean and take care of the pets and sleep. Night shift is hard!! Rant over.
