the only reason why i went to 3rd shift. cause if i stayed on 2nd shift my oldest son gets home from school around 3:00 around 3:30 to be at work at 4:00 and i would have never seen my son only on my days off and that's why i chose 3rd shift. as far a money yes y get paid more.

Soon both of your children will be in school, so that will help out with that part of it. Your husband misses you and the time you two can share together. I think it would be great if you could work day or split shift. Now, for wanting what is best for your children, also means having a happy marriage.

Since your youngest will start pre-school this fall, babysitter fees shouldn't be that much. I can see your husband's point of view. It would be nice for you to work the same shift and resume a more 9-5 lifestyle with your children, especially now that they are starting school. Your children will have a 8-3 life with sports, etc. and you will be working & missing their school activities. It is obviously up to you and your husband, but I would try to get the 9-5 if possible- best interest of your children needs to be where your focus is.

I think its a good idea to work the grave yard shift for now, I mean daycare is expensive, you should wait till the kids are a bit older then try and switch. In the mean time dont forget about your husband.

You are very caring and organized. Your are just too much involved about the child. You carry on with your schedule if you are comfortable with it. Discuss with your husband how you can spend some quality time together within this schedule. Pay a little more attention to your husband and everything will be fine.

what is it about the 3rd shift more money....if you don't work a split shift or mornings the kids are the ones that is getting the worst of the deal.....a family together stays together....split apart will go apart....watch what you do...
