[quote=Anonymous]The two of you have to decide what is right for you. My dh works mostly evenings and weekends for months at a time. I work a fairly set schedule, we both commute more than 40 min to work. When my kids were little, it was tough. He is in charge every morning so I can leave for work early. I am alone with kids every evening and most weekends. It was exhausting when they were little and I didn’t plan much because it was hard to get us all out the door. As they grew they were also responsible for more age appropriate chores. Now, they are pre-teen and the three of us do our chores on a weekend morning and fit in the rest of our activities. Just seems so normal, dh and I have been married and doing this schedule for 18 years. We have made it work, sometimes there are not too many options, he loves his job and I am willing to support that. Just as he supports me in my job.[/quote]
