Not a lot of time to spend with family. My kids are in school so my weekdays off I don’t see them. On the weekdays I do work I see them for a little in the morning and a little before they get to bed. Then the weekends come and I don’t see them all day. I even lost precious bonding time with my newborn due to this. If I could have at least have more weekends off when they are off I can see them more than just mornings and evening where everyone is getting ready to go out the door. Also the 10-6 shift hurts with after school activities and events. It’s painful to sit in the office the last hour where there is hardly anything going on when I can close at 5 and still make it in time for dinner or events at my kids school. Keep in my I also commute to work about 30 min. I didn’t even cover the toll and stress this has put on my hisband who also commutes to work (8-4) to rush home and pick everyone up before aftercare and day care closes. I’m sure this is not everyone situation but I know I’m not the only one.
