[quote=Anonymous]PP here. Another complicating factor: childcare. Most sitters or nannies want a M-F 9-5 job. It is very tough to find someone who will adapt to your rotating schedule (t/w/th this month, diff the next). And if your husband travels once a month, who will take care of the kids when you are working until midnight or on the overnight shift? Working opposite shifts from your husband isn't great either. I work nights a lot so I don't see my husband or kid for 4 days/nights a week because our child in preschool v early and husband works early to pick him up. It is a major burden for my husband to get up early, work a full stressful day then be the sole caregiver on nights I work. Sorry to be such a downer, but we have walked a mile in your shoes and it is tougher than it looks. I hope it is easier for you.[/quote]
