Anyone work nights when their partner works days? Ive done three years of this stay at home mom stuff and it's starting to really wear me down. I'm only looking to work part time somewhere, I'm hoping I can get about 4hours a night five days a week if I can. I need to get out of the house because I'm suffocating being stuck in this apartment so much. Plus the extra cash would make things either. We only have one car and it's $1000 for just four 8 hour days at the daycare near us and a babysitter would charge me the same as I'd probably get paid per hour so that's pointless. How do you make it work with your partner? Hes going to be working 8-4:30/5 and then I'll hopefully be working 8pm till midnight or later. I guess we'd see each other on weekends and for dinner but does that really work for anyone? And yes we've already agreed on this schedule together since he can have the kids in bed by 9 at the latest and be in bed by 11-12 which is his normal routine. He also agrees that I need to get out of the house and have a little time away from the kids and around other adults. So its just a matter of doing it, but I'm wondering if our relationship is going to suffer if we're not seeing each other as much.

I'm doing it with my hubby. It works and I must say that we even closer than before. Working same shift was pointless due to babysitter cost. So I do nights he does days. We just make the best out of moments together and we communicate alot about everything thing. The extra money has been so helpful and yes my sanity too, going out gives me some clarity away from baby and I get to talk to other adults other than my husband. It can work. Yours is even better, you will still sleep at home

Well at one point, I work nights and husband worked days. Not I’m working two jobs while my husband job hunts, so it’s day and night sometimes.
It was a hard adjustment in the beginning but once a pattern gets down it’s easy. And you’ll still have days off too.

We work opposite shifts, he works 7am-330, sometimes later and I work 4pm-12am. Hes asleep when I get home, I try and wake up when he gets up ( I fail at this) so we really only see each other Friday and saturday bc I have off and Sundays before I go to work. It sucks we never see each other.

My hubby and i work same ahidt sometimes during thr week. Im woring odd hours now so on hisboff days he has our daugther and when we both work we have her with family we trust. But i get up and leave before he does and i get home after him. Alot of times we sont spend as much time together but it helps alot to work. Im a less angry mom and wife now. Olus we both do house chores. You gotta find what fits. But part time may work for yall.

I was a stay at home mom after my 2nd baby and decided to do the same. Part time only 3 days a week but it was overnight. 11pm-7:30am thurs-sat. I almost died. I quit in maybe 2 months. I didnt get much sleep during the day because my son would only nap for an hr or 2 then had to stay up all night and then i got pregnant on top of that which made it worse. He did miss me tho and he was glad when i got to stay home on the weekend again

We've been doing it for 7 years. He works 5pm-430am 4 nights s week, and I work 8am -430pm 5 days. We see each other weekends, lol. Our oldest see us both more since he stays with Dad when I go to work until school starts. We fight less since we don't see each other as much and want to enjoy the time we do have together
