[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd rather DH and I were both home at the same times.

My mom was a nurse who worked nights and my dad was an engineer that worked days. [/quote]
That's kind of selfish.[/quote]

Ehh both of us are with the kids from 7-8 and then from 5pm onwards. I like being with dh and I think it’s important kids see both parents at dinner. Ymmv[/quote]

I'm not sure how it can be described as selfish.  I work from 11p-7a.  Leave the house at 945.  I sleep when I get home, get up at 3pm and meet DS at the bus stop at 330pm.  Then DH gets home around 6pm-630.  We eat dinner and hang out.  Either DH or I put DS to bed around 730-8p.  Then DH and I spend time together until I leave.  DH goes to bed at 10pm anyways, so not missing out on much time with him. I rarely, if ever, work weekends.  Sometimes I'm home to meet DH and DS at the bus stop or right before they leave the house.  Otherwise DH does a great job with the morning routine.

So if you could explain how that's selfish, I'm all ears. [/quote]
