Solo/ lonely parenting

My partner works away. He's usually away for 2 weeks at a time and only home for 2 nights when he's back and even then I do the majority of things. I am thankful I have my mam to help otherwise I'd struggle 😞

My partner works & travels for just short of 12 hours a day, he’s up so early that we go to bed around 9:30, I get around 3 hours baby free so I know how you feel! One of those hours I cook our dinner 😂 (I love cooking so that’s not a bad thing for me) I do both the night shifts, initially we said that Fridays and Saturdays he would give me a break and do both feeds but I’m so soft so far I’ve said for us to do one each. It’s super tough doing it what can feel like alone but just remember he’s working super long to support your little family & that’s him playing his part, I try and encourage more playtime around when he’s home with the baby & cuddles too as I know the time he does have to parent is precious to him. You’ve got this 🥰 (feel free to message if ever you’d like)xx

Yes partner works 7-6 pm and I do everything he’s not even changed a nappy

Yes, I can relate to this! My partner works 12hr shifts a mix of day and nights. I was terrified when he had to go back but I suppose you just get on with it. I feel like me and baby have our own little routine going when he’s working now which is nice. It’s helped having a set time I put him to bed and then have an hour to myself downstairs with the monitor on of course! Also my partner is super hands on when he’s not working so I feel like I do get a break which massively helps xx
