Working parents

Is there any shift-hours working parents here? My husband is working on 12 hour shifts and I, myself, just started working AM shifts without fixed off days. We have been sending our 9 month old baby to IFC since he was 4 month old. I feel stress all the time thinking of the well being of my baby. Like is he getting enough attention from my husband and I because we are always out working even on weekends? At times both, me and husband, will be on AM shifts. Latest I’ll end will be at 1630 and then I gotta rush home to be with my baby. My baby will usually go to bed around 1930. To think that I only got 3 hours with my baby, my heart broke. I would like to know what are you, shift working parents, schedule like? And how do y’all make this work?

actually even without shift work, i work office hours, i also only get 3hours per day with my baby. it’s up to us to make it the most meaningful 3 hours of bonding time with them. why do you not think it’s working?

Maybe I’m feeling so because my MIL keep asking me to try get weekends off etc. I am staying with my in-laws at the moment so I always feel pressured. My MIL will always side my husband. Saying he’s working a 12hour shift so he’s more tired?
