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?

we both work office hour 9-6pm 830am-6pm we send baby to IFC at 730am which means we have to leave house at 630am. pick him at around 7pm and by the time reach home is already 8pm. we do not have much time also, treasure every moment, commuting is also part of bonding

But my husband’s and my weekends are affected and we won’t be able to be there for our baby. That’s what I’m so guilty about.
