No family time

Hi!!!!!! its nice to see you as a good wife who understands her husband well and support him in all the ways.let your husband take some holidays and refresh himself with your family and friends,go to some picnic spots if possible.make him understand how important heis for your kids ,you.Continue what you do.Happy Lotting.

I use to work overnights, but due to everything you had describe is why i'm on days. It took some getting use to because when a person works third shift, you never have to worry about appointments or anything else that's required by time. But the downfalls of first shift are sacrificing money and putting my job in jeopardy, everytime something unexpected comes up. Try working first shift with continuous court appointments, doctor's and dentist's appointments and whatever other emergencies. Unless a person is single and knowone to look after, but themselves, then no matter what shift you work, the con's will always outweigh the pro's.

I appreciate of your being humble and loveable to your husband.That is the very good thing to be done to understand his situation. It is also for your family. And your partner should also give time to your kids and specially to you even for a few minutes daily before he goes to work. It is so important to your family and so with kids.You can talk to him about that I guess he would also love that for sure.

i think there is always must be a priority for family for any body. this is my own view. as does it really fruitful if you earn and your family is not happy still. so i think earning moderate is enough and give the time to the family is more important than merely earning.

That must be really hard. I know how it feels. When I was young, my dad and mom dont really talk with each other. Both of them are really tired from work. No wonder when I was in high school, I've been a rebel in the family because there is few family time. Well I cant blame them as a children. But they say, if they really want to have a family time. It always can. Just say yes.

Hello It's a good thing that your hubby have a job to support you and your family...and i truly understand how u feel 6 day's a week with no time with him can be hard and i wish you the best!

I know how that can be, our kids all grown now and parents themselves. I am going to say this because it is very important. Make the most of those two hours per day. It is not the amount of time but what you do with it that is going to matter to your children later in life and even to you. Make it a special time each day. At least for an hour if at all possible. Play games, tell stories, what ever you do make it quality time. On his day off, no matter how much he has to do. He needs to make family priority. The front step might need fixed, the car need the oil changed, the faucet might need a new washer. But you only have your children a short while shorter than you think and then they are gone. I also know that some maybe gone a lot quicker than you can ever even imagine. Make every second quality time, laugh, tickle, play, something you all love to do. Hug, and let the children know how much daddy loves them. Make a list of the most important 3 things needing done on his day off. If he finishes one then good but first spend time together, make it dessert day, games, our a special outing zoo, or ymca or something as a family for 4 hours. A special dinner, movie at home and treats. Read books, fly kites, Make it special every time. Also if you can afford it see if his boss can give him another day off or even half a day or an hour off earlier. Where does he work, how long his his lunch time. Something might work there to. Depends. But just be a family, laugh, love, play as much as possible in the time you have.

Been there in several forms of the issue. All I know is that all we can do is make what time we can get together count. Make sure any meals eaten together are done around the table so time can be spent talking not watching TV. On days off make some time for activities like hiking or playing board games even. Family time doesn't have to be big expensive flashy things in fact the things kids remember as adults is doing things like raking the yard with Dad or cooking with mom.

You've a good and 100% dedicated family man. Few are the people that don't mind to do that to just make the family at home happy. While it may seems bad and kinda of "I hate you not being at home for long", think that he's giving all he can to make the people at home having a good life. The max and only thing you can do is just to support him and always tell him and better days will come and you and the kids are supporting him at 100% and thanks for what he does. Try to make sometimes a special dinner or try to get some quality time together when possible. At vacations try to be out of that place so he can also release so stress, work is never good specially with so few time at home to be able to live life.

I can see that you're a good wife and mom to your kids. You can talk to your husband about your worries, and try to arrange a dinner date or maybe a picnic for the family. It doesn't need to be a big one. You can even set up a lunch or dinner at your backyard to make sure that the family will have time together. You can make some effort for your family to bond together and for your husband to relax..

My close friend has the same issues and the possibility of it changing is damn near impossible due to where they live. Luckily both her girls are in school during the day, so what she does is stay up during the night while he is at work, does laundry and such when the kids are sleeping. When he gets home, he takes them to school and does the morning routine with them. Once they are at school, they both sleep, and then she wakes up to pic up the kids. Dad wakes up for dinner and then they get that little bit of time before he goes to work at 9p. It isnt a perfect solution, but one that worked for them, that way, she felt less alone, and him as well.

You are exactly in the same situation as me. My husband works as a financial consultant so he meets clients and work everyday, 7 days a week. The only quality time we had is when we go to church, but then again you don't talk in church, you listen to the pastor. Whenever he's home, he's either sleeping or watching TV. Even when days he has no appointments or does not go to the office, he would watch TV the whole day, he even carries his laptop to the toilet to watch MBA on youtube. He's oblivious to the kids at home. The only time we would talk is when we are out eating, where there's no TV for him to watch. But then again, calls from his clients come in during meals and he leaves the table to talk. I told him one day that I ought to be an actress. He asked me why? I told him, that is the only way I can get his attention. He laughed. My solution to this? Let him do whatever he wants and he would suddenly feel a vacuum or emptiness inside him and initiate an outing or time spend together. Be happy and play with your kids. The more you nag at him, the more he won't comply. The more he sees you happy with the kids, the more he wants to join in. Man are boys too, they go for fun. :)
