Hubby's first day back at work...

So as I mentioned a month or so ago, DH lost his job. Well today was his first day back at work (Thank GOD he found a job...one that actually pays a little better and it's with a company he was actually laid off of a couple of years ago).

Anyways....so can I just say that with him home the last month I got so spoiled with having an extra set of hands around. Things are definitely easier now that they are a little older and stretching between feedings and can semi entertain themselves in a bouncy or on a play mat...but still...I forgot how bad it feels when they both are screaming at the same time!

I know it will just take some getting used to, but I don't know why the heck I assumed it would be EASY?!

 

yay for the job! i think as moms something in us just pushes us to keep going no matter how hard it gets! does he get home at a decent hour from work. my dh doesn't get home until 8 or 9 pm often

 

Glad he was able to find another job! And better paying at that!

All hands on deck is why I sooooo look forward to the weekend! Although sometimes, I'm just better off doing most of it myself! As for the crying, you'll get used to it in no time! And they most certainly won't remember these days!

 

I wish my hubby would go back to work! I actually prefer being in my own routine during the day... but yeah, it is a whole lot of work. I am sure you'll be in the swing of things in no time!

 

On one hand I'm sad to not have the extra pair of hands...but on the other I agree with you, Jen. The last two weeks of him being home I was just PRAYING he'd get a job and leave. He makes almost as many messes as the kids do! But it was also fun having time to spend together as a family because at his last job he worked 60 to 70 hours a week.

 

My husband started back this week part time. Its been really rough. I have had my mom come by to help a bit and I still haven't gotten to shower those days. I go back full time in two wEeks...iit will be easier to be at work than with two babies!

 

:clapping: Congratulations on your DH finding a job!
It is hard once you are on your own, I remember dreading the day when my DH went back to work. Once the kids and I got into a good rhythm, it was not that bad. It just took sometime to get there. I always felt badly when they cried at the same time and I would try to figure out who was in more need of my help at that moment. It was tough but :youcandoit:
