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?

Hi mummy! Me and my husband we both work 12hr shift. Downside yes we do spend lesser time with him after work since i be home by 9-9:30pm and my husband at 10:30pm. So apparently my mum will put my son for his nap and he will wakeup by himself at 10:15pm. So that will be the time me and my husband able to spend time with him. But sometimes my son will just sleep thru out the night. Every single time before we left for work or before our son goes to sleep, we always talked to him n informed him that we need to go work n why we need to work. Yes its painful for nt able to spend long hrs, but for me my boss able to let me wfh at times when i need to. Me n my husband also have different off days.. so i always remind him, even if im not around pls spend more time with him and dnt let him feel like his parents neglected him. Hes 5months now and ive actually missed his 1st turn. But at this time mummy, we just need to be strong and dont ever stressed ourself because we always try and want the best for them.
