I only ever seem to post things on here when I'm having a moan.
I work shifts, at the moment because there is no available childcare and because we both work shifts my Dh and I work opposite each other but due to how things rotate he never has to look after our youngest who is 20 months after a night shift. I have done 5 shifts so far this week all lates and nights working 11 hours overtime in 3 days. I'm already worn out and have 2 more night shifts to go. He's on earlies starting at 7 on his 2nd shift with 2 more to go and he's due to go away next week for 3 days.
To make matters more fun we use cloth nappies too. Last night I got several texts complaining the youngest kept waking him up. I sympathised bit there wasn't much I could do. I finished at 5 and when I got in I wasn't quite ready to go straight off to sleep. I made him his lunch for work and took him some breakfast and a cup of tea getting into the bedroom when he should be waking up. He had been complaining to his parents about struggling with his shifts so they have got him a daylight alarm clock. His alarm had already gone off. He was awake but hit snooze, twice. Then the baby woke earlier than normal just after he left, 6.15. When I picked her up I discovered she was freezing cold and soaked through the paper liner was out of her nappy transferring pee onto her clothes. I had to strip her bed as well. She wouldn't have her nap until midday.
How can I get Dh to understand that his actions are having massive consequences for me
