My DH works nights and he leves home at 5pm and does not get home till 5:30 or later in the morning. My question is when do you find the time to be alone with him? (if you get what I mean) we have 3 kids and we realy need to get a door with a lock withc we are going to do this weekend I think. But I want to when he is gone like after the kids go to bed. I have no diser to do it when he gets home I feel like I just went to bed sometimes and if we do then. Im going to not get any sleep cause then Im going to have to get up with the kids. Sigh......I wish Emme had her own room too. Mabye I will set all the kids up in the living room for sleep tonight or something.

Thanks for listing

Do your kids have their own rooms or do you have the "family bed" setup?

Emme is in a twin bed right next to ours and the boys sleep in there oun room. I wish Emme had here won room but it is just not going to happen for awhile. There is no room here in the house right now and I thought about putting her with the boys but one is 13 and the other is 9 and I think they are too old to share a room with there little sister and there room is so croudded right now I dont think I could get her in there if I wanted to.

I know what you mean. My Dh works very weird hours. We had a family bed until a couple of months ago, but this is how Dh and I both prefered it. But we are also still in love and pasionate about eachother. So we would put a lock on the outside of our bedroom door and would...uh you know in the living room. This is Tmi but I totally recomend down comfortors...a couple of them. :)


We would also just put the kids back in their bed. They are heavy sleepers so this did not wake them up. We would lock their door from the inside to give us some warning.


I aslo put our kids to bed a 7:30 so that when Dh is home every other week, we get to spend alone time together. Our kids knock out pretty quick, so Dh and I can talk or do...whatever. lol


hth.
