Country Kids 09:11 AM 07-28-2011
When I worked there was a time that I actually had to be at work by 6:00 A.M.. This meant I was up at 4:00, had my daughter up by 4;30,fed her breakfast and then we were out the door by 5:15. She was totally ready to go for the day and she was 2 1/2 and we did this for a year. We also had her eat breakfast at childcare because by that time it would have been more of a snack, then she had snack and lunch. I would pick her up by 3:00 and we spent the rest of the day together. She probably also went to bed by 7:00 or so but she had 4-5 hours face time with us after work. So no matter what shift you work I think you need to do your best to make sure you are spending as much time with your child whether you have to get them up an hour earlier than you want or have no activities planned in the evening so you can have a routine and be spending it with your child.
