My husband works third shift (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) and I'll be going back to working days (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.) starting April 2. We shifted our schedules this way so we could avoid needing daycare. However, we're realizing that my husband may not get much, if any, sleep during the day and, at night, I won't be home until 5:30 - he'd only be able to count on about 4 hours of sleep before he'd have to get up and get ready for work. My parents have passed away and I have no other family on my side. My husband's dad and step-mom live locally, but they both have jobs and can't help out with daycare during the week. His mom and step-dad, and the rest of his side of the family, lives out of state.
Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you and your spouse/partner handle it? Did you end up having to use daycare after all?
