[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 409740, member: 84"] While I understand husband wanting to spend time with you when he can..........it's also selfish of him to expect you to do without sleep to do it. Odds are some of your issues are in fact due to sleep deprivation. It causes a person to be less patient, edgy, ect. Trust me, 99 percent of the time I'm sleep deprived. Marriage and relationships are about compromise. You can't always be the only one compromising. (a fact I'm trying to drum into Nichole's head) easy child and sister in law now work opposing shifts. They didn't ask for it, life delt it to them that way. sister in law for the first time ever is working a normal 8 hr 5 day wk 2nd shift with weekends off. easy child is working day shift 3 days per wk 12 hr days in ICU now......extremely stressful, not to mention exhausting. To top it off she still works as needed at her old hospital, which means even more 12 hr days, those in cardiac care. ugh So they haven't been seeing each other much. She tried a few days to stay up until he got home.......but when you get up at 4am, staying up until midnight is next to impossible, especially after working all day and coming home to care for 3 little ones. The compromise? The day before a day off, easy child naps after the boys go to bed, gets up in time for sister in law to get home, sits up with him a while, then they both go to bed. Of course days off are pretty much spent together for the most part. Works for them so far. That may mean they don't literally see each other for days. But sometimes life leaves you no choice and you have to do the best with what you've got. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
