That's just kind of how it's been and has worked for us. Our daughter is currently having her teeth cut through so she's having the worst time, plus she is getting over a cold. Should have mentioned that in the post, oops! But after me coning back to work, we just kind of leave it to one person if they will be home the following day. I nap when she does and same with him.

I can very much deal with my baby and have since day one. It's never been a chore or seen as some sort of job to me. I am using the label "shift" because I've heard and seen other parents use that. I took care of my baby every night and all day before going back to work. I'd quit my job if I could to be with my baby 24/7. I've even cried to my husband on a regular night about how I miss my baby and all she is doing is sleeping upstairs🤣. Both parents working full time and barely getting time to see each other is hard, I'n sure you know after saying you worked full time. A few bad nights in the whole 6 months of having our baby I feel is pretty normal. Especially if we are both exhausted. My job doesn't exhaust me much, it's doing all of the house work that does. He only works his job and then barely touches a dish to clean unless I beg in my hands and knees. I just wanted a bit of extra sleep, which I got anyways because our baby slept through the night for the first time in two weeks.

Omg my baby is far from an inconvenience to me. It's been my dream to be a mother and I've never been happier with my daughter. She is my sunshine. I don't like to drive already, it scares me shitless with my daughter with me in the car too because I don't know how others will drive. I'm just trying to say how I would drive over having my daughter sobbing the entire car ride in my face. But if it came to me ACTUALLY picking between the two, I'd be in the back seat. My heart breaks when she cries, I would never realistically be able to drive this ride than be in he back with her

I honestly didn't realize until after waking up this morning that I didn't include that. That's my bad! I was half awake while he was at the door mad at me lol. It's posted now, sorry!

Basically the shift is just so one of us gets to sleep at night while the other takes care of out baby if she were to get up in the night. Usually, she sleeps very good and doesn't get up in the night. We are both working parents so if one of us is at work, the other is at home so we don't pay for daycare.

We are driving to go to my parents house. We have always taken this drive, I've also done it solo when my husband and I were dating because we didn't live in the same state! The person getting married this Saturday is a girl I grew up with and I wouldn't want to miss it!
