ok so i work during the day runnin a daycare out of our house adn then in the evenings i work as a waitress and my boyfriend works all day with his business and his subcontracting stuff adn then by time he gets off im already at work and our son is already at the sitter. so he picks him up adn spends time with him but i dont get off till like 10ish usually and then by time i get home we just put baby to sleep take a shower and go to bed. the only time we have to actually talk to each other is for like the first 15 min before he falls asleep. i dont know what to do. i need to talk to him more. i feel soo left out and unappreciated sometimes and i just dont know what to do. any ideas???????

I have the same problem except my boyfriend works nights so he sleeps pretty much all day then works from 11:30pm to 8am so we dont get much time to talk. I dont know if its possible for you but if you`s both have any time off at some point try to find a sitter and plan a date! dinner/movie or just cuddling on the couch, its always nice to have some time to chat. If your schedules collide that much maybe even plan the same day off a few weeks in advance if your bosses will allow it?

First of all, do you really need to work both jobs? If it's not absolutely necessary then I would quit, because family time is important. I can understand if you need the money or whatever, but if you can get by without it I think quality time with your family is of much higher value. If not... then I guess just take every moment you have together and cherish it. You should focus on the quality of the time you spend together, not the quantity.
