What I miss the most

I miss quality time with my husband. He misses it too he says but due to his two work scedules he is tired. He also says he feels guilty for not spending quality family time i.e. family movie night, bowling, or dinning out as a family. We manage to steal some time but for now it's a juggle

Are your two boys at home still -
I am a mom of a 6 yr old and a 14 yr old. I think I am in a similar situation as you. I am a married single mom - my husband works 2 weeks out of the home and when he is home the other two weeks he works another job opposite shifts as I. I am a nurse and work 8-5 Monday through Thursday. I am not sure if I ever had quality time with my husband. He says he doesn't have a choice in order to raise our children but I am not sure I agree. He always seems to find the time he needs to do his stuff.....hunting, fishing, traveling. I am afraid for when my children have their own lives my husband and I won't even know each other anymore - he doesn't seem to understand this. At times I feel myself angry and resentful because I am the only one at home putting everything I have into my children. I suppose he is only hurting himself. I could go on and on and on.... I hope you find that quality time again with your husband. I feel your want.

I know what you mean. My husband and I work oppsite shifts. He works graveyard, so he takes care of the kids while im at work during the day and goes to sleep when I get home. I watch the kids at night and go to sleep when he goes to work. When he gets home in the morning, I go to work. Every day, every week the same thing. We see each other for a few minutes in passing. On my days off, I try to get the cleaning done and he tries to catch up on sleep. On his days off he sleeps more and stays up all night playing video games. Sometimes I dont even feel like I have a husband, but I guess thats the sacrifice we make when we have kids and childcare costs are way too expensive. Good Luck!
