[quote=Anonymous]First off, this sucks for your family and you personally so I am sorry.

But, given your kids’ ages (aka not toddlers/young ES needing “help with bedtime”), in a way this means your family has MORE adult coverage by you and DH being spread out.

Think of tasks that DH can do when he’s home and awake - an easy one that I’d personally love is for DH to make dinner. Also grocery shop and/or laundry. Do the kids need a ride home from school, he could do that and bonus he gets a little face time with them- and related, drop them at after school activities or take them to appointments (and be the one in charge of making those appts). Or if his shift ends at 7am, he could drive the kids to school instead (the way many people pick up their kids when they get off work in the late afternoon).

You and DH should come up with a list of the various needs/tasks your family has during the week, and figure out how best to divide it up so that you each have tasks and hopefully a little personal time in your non working hours.

If you had little kids, I’d say hire an evening nanny. But your child situation is very different than that, and there’s no reason your DH can’t handle many of the family tasks when he is home (after sleeping) the same way that one would if they worked a day shift and had to take care of personal/family tasks when home.
