[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to really look at your job situation. Are these hours “forever” or is this something you do for 1-2 years and you get promoted to where you can delegate more. Frankly, I’m confused why your husband didn’t deal with the fridge. And I have no idea why you spent an hour researching the problem before calling someone to figure it out.

And just stop doing all this nighttime stuff. It likely won’t be the end of the world.[/quote]

I would pick at least 2-3 nights a week that I go to bed early to catch up some. Don’t do house or work those nights unless it’s an actual emergency. I can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep if I have some 8 hour nights mixed in. Try hard to prioritize and also try to get out the door faster. I would if anything try to get more time with the baby if you possibly can but agree with other PP that kids are going to need more time from a parent as they get older- maybe start thinking now about if you and your partner are both happy about any additional parent time coming from him…[/quote]
