Paul returning but feels new

[NPS_Paul]

I just wanted to say hi and a little about myself. I'm a full time carer for 2 autistic sons and i also work part time 6-8 hours aweek. This is a recent thing and i hope it will increase over the next few months. My wife is hoping to be a class room assistant and has an interview next week for an autistic child in year 5. Basically hi to those who remember my short time here afew months back and hi to new friends too.

Well i'm in my 3rd week of part time work and my wife is out working at our son's school too this afternoon. It's not easy and especially on wednesdays we just hardly see eachother - if we're not at work we are looking after children seperately. We'll have to see how the weeks and then months pan out. She's back at 3,30pm and then i have to go and do another couple of hours, then she's out this evening. Phew. Any of you have the same kind of life? Paul.

Your lucky it would be worse if you were working full time, some couples are like ships that pass in the night due to kids and work commitments. When I was married my ex used to be away for 9 months of a year and i used to work 2 jobs so when he was home we very rarely saw one another. Guess its just life and we have to do these things to survive financially and if a relationship is strong enough then it will survive it..........sadly mine wasn't.

Hi

I know when my kids where little thats what we had to do to pay the Mortgage and other bills. My husband worked through the day, and i worked evenings and weekends at B&Q.

I geuss if you need the money then you just have to do what suits best.:)

Many years ago my wife use to work mornings at the local Woolworths and i did afternoons/ weekends at Safeway 13 miles away by train. There was so little time gap, that i had to get our 2 children in the double buggy and meet her half way home and then run for the train to be home at 11pm.

I know where you're coming from trac67. I was working 2 jobs and it was just too much with my wife trying to work too. We split up for 3 years. During that time i worked nights full time and although i earned good money i hardly saw my children. The balance of family and making ends even meet is a very tricky one.
