My husband is a Sherriff Dept. He works nights one month,then days the next month. He works 12 hour shifts and when he's home he is usually tierd, sleeping, or hunting. But is also a great family man. We often watch movies together. We go to church, which has been a great foundation for our marriage. Without God, we would never make it!

My husband is also a deputy. He works nights. He has 12 hour shifts, but they do not go from days to nights. He simply picks a shift and stays there until the next shift bid. It can be hard because of our different hours, but we both work to ensure that both the kids and I have daddy time. Making sure that everyone spends time together is a must. We are lucky that we have so much in common that we both want to do the same things, like the same movies, and both have the same career field. I just finished my second masters, so I do not work yet. I have just recently found a place to work. He has been supportive through it all. I support everything he does. He works hard to take care of our family and make us happy and we do our best to do the same for him.

Currently my husband works part time as a digital editor for a radio newswire company and spends the rest of his time trading forex currencies (foreign exchange market). He's going to be getting some financing for doing the trading on a larger scale and will probably be dropping the part time work as soon as he starts drawing a salary from the trading. He also fixes and builds computers on the side - mostly for friends, family and friends-of-friends or friends-of-family.

WOW reading all the posts here makes me feel kinda boring... My husband works in a bank and makes sure he is home by 19h cause we bathe our baby at 19.30 and put her to bed at 20h. Then we get to chill out, cuddle and watch some TV together. With our 9 month old weekends are mostly used up to catch up on sleep and clean the house and recharge the batteries. He is Italian and is a great help and support at home (he cooks better and more often than me...)

My husband fights for our freedom. He is a soldier in the Army. This is what he was made for, and he's amazing at what he does. Even though it comes with a lot of sacrifice, I am so proud of him and wouldn't change a thing.

My husband is an IT director for a large steel company here in okc. He works all day then does work from home. They do steel work all over the world and USof course. He goes as far as India 2 times a yr. Sometime soon the wives will get to go. 3 weeks after we met he flew me out to las Vegas to meet him there and while he worked I shopped. He gets emails all hours of the day and nite cuz in places like India the time is different. I do enjoy some weeks when he goes out a town cuz I get to be "fishy" like he calls it and relax. No dinners no cleaning except for our daughter. Haha

My husband is a tattoo artist, and let me just tell ya, it is absolutely amazing to be in love with an artist. He sees the world in a different way and has opened my eyes to beauties I would have never dreamed of. He does have to work a lot, and I hate that. He works from12 noon to 10 p.m. through the week, tho he rarely makes it home before 11:30. And on Fridays and Saturdays, he works from 12 to 12, but usually doesn't make it home until almost 2. His schedule is rough, it puts us in a bind sometimes. My son is 4 and not in school yet, but come this fall, going to sleep at 3 am and getting up at 6 is gonna suck lol. But it is worth it. He is very, very talented and he makes good money. He has recently considered selling some of his paintings on the internet. They are wonderful painting and I am trying to encourage him to do so. He is just so absolutely amazing. He's tired a lot, from his hectic schedule, but on his days off he's always wanting to spend every second with me and my son. He is not my son's bio father, but to see them together, you would never know the difference. He also has a daughter, and his face lights up every time we get her. She is such a delightful child and so wonderful with my son. Being an artist, my husband has also opened up great creative windows for the kids. He is just so wonderful in so many ways, I am totally in love with that man =).

My husband is a farmer/rancher. We just bought our first pasture and now building fences to keep cattle in. We farm about 2500 acres and now have about 1200 acres of pasture. He is an extremely hard worker and come early spring til late fall, I call myself the widow! He leaves around 7 in the morning and gets home bout 10 at night. It used to be about 5 am but now with baby Chloe, he stays in longer to feed her in the morning or else he wont see her. Still there's days he doesn't see her. He has two hired men and in summer hires high school kids to irrigate. He works so hard so that I can stay home with the baby. I love him so much. He has worked hard all his life to get what he wants. We got married Sept. 08 while I was pregnang. My second marriage, his first, and he's going to be 40 this year. He treats me as if we've been together for life. I'm included in every decision made and every circumstance is brought to my attention. I couldn't have asked for a better man to share my life with and be the father or my children. We're trying for the second, but now, I'm afraid we'll have to wait til harvest is over if it doesn't happen soon! lol

My husband is a lineman. He often gets up and gone before the kids wake up and is often home well after the kids go to bed. Often six and seven days a week and often traveling quite a bit. Sometimes over several weeks and several months. Our time with him is just as precious as a military wive's time with their husbands. He's assisted recovery efforts with three major hurricanes. Katrina, Rita and Ike. Like many of your husbands my husband's job can be deadly at any given point. The best feeling in the world is just having him home safe.

My hubby is a Nuke ET in the US Navy. The schedule is crazy but workable most times. He's used to little sleep, so I get to sleep in sometimes or take naps or whatever.
His job makes it hard to be the family man he would like to be, but he does a pretty wonderful job when he doesn't get distracted too long by the computer.

i live in belgium, my husband is 39 years.
he has worked 17 years in a factory in 3 shifts, but when the factory had money problems he lost his job.
Since then he hasn't got a job anymore ... is looking all the time.
But he has a health problem .. he had cut off , by accident, 3 of his fingers 3 years ago. 2 fingers are put on again, but he can't move them .
So it is hard to find work when you have medical issues.
And with 6 kids, and me at home, we really need him to find a job ... it is financially very difficult the last 3 years.

My husband is retired so he is always home! His previous job was a Combat Medic in the United States Army. He was gone ALL the time so him being home ALL the time now is a HUGE change and adjustment. He was wounded while overseas fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom which is why he is Retired now. He is currently trying to get on with the local County Sheriffs Department.

My husband is a Cpl in the Marines. He has been deployed in Afghanistan for a month already and we have 6 to 7 more months. Our daughter was 6 months old when he left. She is a majore daddy's girl so is really hard on her. He is an awsome father and husband we don't get to talk to him that often but when we do our daughter just lights up. Please keep him in your prayers

You sound just like me! My husband is an EMT and the shortest shift he gets is 12 hours, usually at least 19. Theres been a few where we go a couple days without seeing him. But when he's home, he helps out as much as possible. And, church for us, is a must. It's how we cope with the long seperations.

My husband is a security guard shift supervisor for a nuclear plant. He works 2 days on, 2 days off and then 3 days on and the next week is just the opposite. He works 12 hour shifts. I love having him home for a 3 day weekend every other week.

My husband sands and finishes hardwood floors, most of the time he works 12 hours a day or longer. Sometimes he doesn't have work for a couple weeks but he gets paid salary. I don't know anyone who can do a better job on floor then him and his dad. I'm pretty sure they have O.C.D, EVERYTHING has to be perfect to them or they wont quit.

I work for the Sheriff's Office as well and I work 8 hours 5 days a week. He is very involved in his work life and has several instructor certifications and enjoys teaching persons about Firearms.

He enjoys watching movies, and playing games with the PS3 with my oldest son, Andrew. Usually our family time is spent hanging at the house cooking out for family and friends or visiting family and friends!

My husband is a civilian contractor that flies UAV's. He is home from his first 6 month deployment overseas. He left when our son for 13 months old so I raised him for 6 months, by myself. Skype, facebook and my flip video recorder helped to keep us connected and he was able to see Aricin "grow up" through the videos. We were able to talk almost everyday on Skype (sometimes we had nothing to say to eachother because we talked so much!) and he called me every few days on the SAT phone, which wasn't always the greatest connection. We were able to do video chat a few times with him when Aricin was awake but the connection wasn't always that great. While deployed, my husband worked 12hr shifts, 7 days a week. Now, he is home for 3 months (doesn't have to work at all and still draws a paycheck) and will be going back again in June for another 6 months. We both hate being away from one another, but we are able to still stay pretty connected when he is deployed, which I am very thankful for. I feel like he is still apart of our daily lives this way.

My hubby is a shearer, he works 40 hour weeks, he leaves at dark to travel to different properties and gets home at dark... its hard work, bending over all day dragging sheep around one after the other, even though he works so hard he comes home as fresh as ever and is a wonderful father to out two children and even manages to help around the house after work, most of the time i have no idea how he can stay awake after what he does all day. There are so many hard workring husbands out there no matter what their occupation is, make sure you let them know how much they mean xx

My husband is a roofer...and the hottest one on the crew. Lol. He usually works 40 hours a week, depending on the weather. If you ask him what his favorite season to work in is he'll say, "Spring, Summer and Fall! Gotta make that money baby!" Lol. I am so proud of him. He used to be the guy that always got into arguments with the crew leader... and noow he is the assistant crew leader. He lays the most shingles, drives the big truck, skytrak and dump truck. I don't think his step-dad/boss could ask for a better employee/son.
My husband is an AMAZING father and husband. After work everyday he will come in, pick up our 1 yr old and give me the biggest hug & kiss. He can be dead on his feet and he will still get down in the floor and build towers with our son. I look forward to him coming home to us everyday.

My husband is on his 3rd career. He served in the military for 20 years, then he went to Seminary for 3 years and then we were on the mission field in Eastern Europe for 12 years, and now he is working for the US Census Department and I am a caregiver for my mom who has Altzheimers. What a ride and yes, Kristie, without God, we could never have survived.
