Surely I cannot be the first nurse who's also a mama with you kids, and who also has husband that needs hand-holding. Figured this was a fabulous place to come for help...
I work 3 12's. Rotatng days. My commute is 15 minutes, but I often dron't leave until 7:30p or later. Hubby has a 45 mile/1-2hr commute. He drops off & picks up kiddos on the days that I work. Since they have to get up at 5:15am, they go to bed by 8:30. That gives about 2 hrs after day care to feed.
My hubby cannot just look in a pantry and throw food together. I think tonight was the 3rd night in a row that they went to Wendys. No, actually last night was Little Cesears. Ugh. Soo... Please help me.
Teach me *your* routine.. how do you nurse mom's make it all work and have 12 hr day shifts. Do you cook ahead of time? Menu plan and your husband just knows what to fix?? Do you just not start dinner until you get home?
What are your easy-go-to-favorite recipes??
Like I said, I know I can't be alone. We are on week 4 of having both mom & dad working and we are truly struggling...
Help me before my kids become addicted to fast-food and I sink even further into depression because I feel like such a bad mom!!
