WOH and sleeping issues
| Sun, 05-22-2005 - 10:34am |
We were at a dinner party last night at the home of one of dh's coworkers. They have 2 boys, 6 and 4. They have a bunch of sleeping issues (kids 'scared' at night, won't fall asleep in their own bed, won't go to bed without mom or dad cuddling them, etc.) The mom blames herself because since she works all day and misses them so much she tends to cuddle with them late at night and they fall asleep in a pile on the bed all together. She said that if she SAH, they wouldn't have the same issues.
I sah. For us, bed time is a rigid, welcome respite at the end of the day. Dh has no desire to keep them up either, lol.

Sure, that's an option. Still, it would put a small dent in our family activities since going to the kids' ballgames is something we do as a family activity these days.
I wasn't saying it was an impossible situation, just that it would be restrictive to our family. And it would have been pretty tough to swing it these past two weeks when my dh hasn't been home much. But I'm sure there is a way to work around it.
Many mornings I don't get to talk to him because he goes to train at 5 or 6 am. Some mornings we talk while he is shaving and getting dressed. Today is a rest day AND his work team from out of town is no longer here so he didn't need to go to work until 9. We had from 7 until 9 to hang out together, some with kids, some without.
Is it odd to have in-depth conversation with a spouse in the morning?
