I've had to do that. It takes extreme exhaustion for me to get to the point where I can't take equally good care of my kids since I nap with them during the day.
Thank you! I was looking for actual real life situations just like this. I know this was a "duh" question for most, but for lizzey it's not. Her "reason" for not being awake when her son took off was that she passed out from exhaustion after spending 4 nights straight on the net with her husband because it was the only time he could get on.
It's nice to see that most people aren't *that* crazy :P
oh, i know. i meant pick a couple nights TO sit up all night. Other nights just chat & bit and then hit the sack. Or sleep until he's able to get on ... short chat ... get back to bed.
Him away & someone too stupid to give their bodies a proper rest will be of no use to themselves or children/babies.
Been there done that. Well...still there...still doing that. If I am exhausted when I do get the chance to talk to him he tells me to go get my ass in bed so that I can take care of our son. Children come first. That's the rule. Always.
Exactly! I'm not saying i don't understand wanting to talk to your partner, or that staying up talking to them is wrong, but for four days straight and to the point that you are phyically inable of taking care of your two kids? There's a line dammit!
my ex fiance (dave) was in the army and stationed in Korea...I caught him online a few times but since I was a freshman in college, I only really TRIED to talk to him online a few times...he had a cell phone and told me to call anytime I wanted to...if he was available, he'd answer....sure it costed me over 1000 dollars to talk to him (that was in the span of 3 months)...but to me, it was worth it...but I'd NEVER tire myself out...college is expensive (and in lizziey's case...so is a child's future!)
I certainly don't have any experience with the military thing at all, but Sam and I hardly ever see or talk to each other except on the weekends b/c he works 3-11 and I work 7-4. He doesn't get home until almost midnight sometimes, and I wake up at 5:45a. On a rare occasion, I'll stay up and wait for him, but between working and taking care of Andrew by myself when I get home, I would be a useless, exhausted blob if I stayed up to see/talk to him on a daily basis. My health and my ability to keep my job and take care of my baby has to come first.
On a total side note, Sam just got offered a job where he'll be working normal human being hours - YAY!
