so my question is any ideas how we can improve this without changing work schedules or getting a sitter all the time i am in law enforcement so getting my rest is also priority as it can mean the difference of me coming home alive or in a body bag

My husband works on the road. Sometimes he is gone for weeks at a time. We have a four month old son and he also does not go to day care he is always with me. All I can say is make the time you do have together special. There is no way to pause time or anything like that so good luck!!!

This is something I have experienced personally...it sucks but if you really want to make the time you two will put your heads to gether and figure something out. Maybe on the days you are off set the alarm clock a little early and get busy before she goes to work. Get up and help get your son ready for daycare and spend some quality time with him. Leave your wife little love notes on the bathroom mirror or on her pillow..... If this is just a temporary schedule for either of you things will get better.

Been there.. and the only thing to do is to have her put the child to bed earlier so you two can have some time together before you go to work... On your days off she is there for supper and on her days off you are there at supper time..
If i was her I would find a job that works better with your hours....her hours seem pretty long too and wondering how you two can let a baby sitter raise that baby..

I personally would see if there's any way possible to change one day off each (at least every other week) to have the same day in common and then make the most of the day. And like was stated before write each other short little notes every couple of days.

I think your wife should stay at home with your son. I don't think it is up to childcare to raise him. I think if you sit down and really are willing to cutback on the luxury's and put your son first you will be tremendously happy later on! You will never ever get this time back and being a parents requires you raising your own child. Good luck!

You just have to make the best of the few hours that you have together and make time for each other inbetween work otherwise you are putting your marriage on the back burner.

Get a babysitter (Nanny),talk with your wife to fix a little bit both schedules (maybe change few hours).Good luck.

So what's yer question? Well, now that you have asked a real question. I think you are in a boat with a lot of other couples....and you know what they say, misery loves company.
Good luck to you.
