I know what you mean...I had 3 boys, and worked 12's in a locked psych unit. It took me a while, but I found a great neighbor to help me out. The big selling point with her was that my schedule repeated every two weeks. I worked 2 on 2 off, with 3 off every other weekend and working 3 every other weekend. Does your hospital offer any type of day (or night) care. Ours didn't, but there was one only 2 blocks from work that was open 24 hours for folks like us. It was a little pricey, but, when you don't have many options, you have little choice. I wish you luck in your search, but don't give up. It gets easier with time.

So are you a single parent only when your husband is not home, or can this happen while he's sitting right next to you? It's very difficult being a single parent when one or the other isn't notified there is a problem. What hospital are you employed at again?

Lack of discipline will result in this type of situation. May I suggest trying some discipline or you will have a world of problems on your hands much later. Or am I misinformed on what you said by spoiled? It is hard to find good souls in this world today among the "takers and schemers" era we live in. Be very careful in who you choose to help you with your children. Its a very brutal world today.

Well if you are seperated it can be hard. I was seperated when I had my first child and I had to work and go to school. Luckily I didn't work the hrs you did but i had my parents and brothers to help me with my son. My husband and I reconciled and now we have a daughter and she refuses to be with anyone but me and on a rare occasion she may even like her daddy.........so I couldn't even imagine going through what i did with my first son now because my daughter would be miserable and I would even feel worse for leaving her knowing that she is miserable.

more time off is not the answer. with 2 kids you need all the $$ you can get. there are people that babysit other hours besides just 8-5. try asking coworkers for referrals or maybe they are in the same situation and could work something out.

This is a trick question your not a single parent if your married, but it might feel like that. You should have more time off.
