 Re: Changes in hubby
Fatigue is certainly an unavoidable part of the job, and it does cause problems, I agree. We have double trouble, though, as my hours are odd, too, and we're often both tired. We often get cranky with each other.
Coping - well, I think it just boils down in the end to understanding. By that I mean anticipating when your other half is tired, and not expecting too much (I usually make an early dinner, and we head off to bed early), and making him feel special and loved, even though he's tired and grumpy. He does the same for me in return, so it's a two way thing, which is lovely.
And then, of course, on those occasions when you're not both knackered, make sure you make the most of it! We make hay while the sun shines - it's a philosophy we've both come to love! |
