work

[skocc1996]

so my bf is thinking of changing his work shift from morning and starting the evening shift that is from 4pm till midnight, now when my baby arrived i will be continuing university and will leave the house from 6am to at least 2pm or even 3pm leaving us bearly seeing each other. i dont want him to change the shift but hes saying he will be earning more money and that way he can do a part time in the morning since i will not be having any income. i am feeling like my world is coming apart and cant even imagine myself taking care of the baby alone.. i fear that we will be too stressed that we will end up breaking up. help me please give me some advice...

My friends have exactly this kind of timetable and it works really well for them, the baby always has someone to mind it and they have 'couple time' on the weekend... I assume you'll have 6 to 8 weeks of time off which is when babies are the hardest, and that means your bf will be able to be there everyday for that, which most people don't get anything close to! I think it's a pretty awesome set up. My husband leaves 4am and gets back 7pm, 6 days a week... I'd switch schedules with you in a heartbeat if I had the option!

Think of it as a temporary thing sweet heart, stay positive to see positivity.

It is a very stressful thing to have different schedules but your not the first to go through it.
If you go into the change negativity then you'll get negative results..
I'd think of it as a good thing, you don't have a deadbeat dad and you also have a partner who is trying to hold your part(by income) also by allowing you to just go to school and focus on the baby. So he's really taking stress off of you. I'd praise him and thank him. As much as the separation hurts in the long run the sacrifice for a few months could lead to a better higher paying day shift later on.
Best wishes to yall!
