Where's Daddy?

Renae has been going to bed at 5 or 6 pm latley and Daddy doesn't get home from work till 7 pm. When she wakes up he has already left for work. I sometimes worry about the fact that she can go 3 days in a row without seeing Daddy at all...I hope this is ok. She doesn't seem to bothered by this right now, its not a new schedule or anything. Is anyone else in this situation? Does it make your child upset when they get older?

My husband works all the time. I have 5 children the youngest being 2 the oldest being 9. It is hard on the children especially my 8 year old because he wants that time with daddy. All though we just accept that he has to work these hours and every other month he will be home for 5 days straight, that is the time my children love the most. As you have probably already discovered you are the primary parent, and your daughter will rely on you more than your husband just because you are with her all the time, it's okay for her to feel that way. Eventually she will have a bond with her daddy but for now don't worry that she doesn't see him as much. She will in time and she will have an amazing bond with him just as much as she does with you. Children adapt very well to schedules and this is just normal to her. I hope this answeres your question. Deborah
