to not be sure having DH home every evening will be a good thing

[drivinmecrazy]

DH currently works away mon-fri, and this suits us fine. I love when I put the kids to bed and get all evening to myself.
DH is considering taking a new job, which will be great as more money/holiday/better benefits, but all I can think is losing my evenings and having to re-adjust to living with him again.
I know I am being a selfish cow. The kids would be so happy, although Daddy probably won't be home before bedtime anyway.
ARGGHHH. Just the thought of having to compromise over what I want to watch on TV, let alone not being able to sleep in the middle of the bed any more. So many things to miss

YABU but you realise that. It'll take some time to adjust but it could be such a good thing for all of you. And you could always persuade DH to take up some evening hobbies so you still get a few nights in by yourself.

'Tis a right pain in the arse, I wished mine worked away sometimes.

My dh is having a week off at home this week. God help us when he retires

DH is a chef so out of the house 5 evenings a week. I have the TV all to myself, bliss. DH, when he has the remote control seems to watch 3 mins of a programme before flicking over to something else. He does this all sodding evening. Aargh!

YANBU.

Has he got a laptop? If so then problem solved, he can still be physically present but not in your way.
Mine's building a theme park on FB at them moment, it consumes him helps him wind down him from work - he doesn't get home till 11pm, we generally save conversation for bed time. He'll look up occasionally if I'm perving tutting at sexetera and that's about it.

You might not even realise he's there half the time!

It will be better in so many ways, he must hate missing out on family life so much, I know mine did when he had to work away.

LOL! I feel the same. DH goes out 3 evenings a week and when he says that he feels it's unfair to me to go out so often and has decided to spend an evening at home my heart sinks.

My DH works nights and as much as I moan that he is either - never here, or always bloody sleeping, he is at home for a week and I am already fed up of tripping over him.

And he is saying things like 'what's for tea?' Erm, he is never here for tea as he has breakfast in the evening so I eat with the DCs - usually nothing that veggie DH would touch anyway
