Her work week was wed-sunday, 3PM - 11PM, and my was the normal 8-6 mon-friday. the good part was we only needed day care 3 days a week. the bad part was that we were practically two single parents, and this was during the baby's first year and a half. In context though, my mom did a good job being a single mom herself with a lot less resources. I have much admiration for all the single parents out there who do the best with what they have.

But there have been a few instances where I've been "home alone" for a day or two. I can take it... for a while. It's not taking care of the kids that gets to me, though; it's my wife's absence. I like it much better when we're in the same place! My wife stays home, too, and I’ve got the extra job(s) to prove it.

We plan to keep it that way. She likes to be home with our girl, I like her to be home with our girl and I will do what I can to keep it that way. I even pick up the extra odd job here and there. I love my little girl but I can only take care of her for short periods of times. Thank goodness I work and my wife stays home. We plan to keep it that way.
