I've got a dcd who works shifts. He has never kept dcg home with him on his days off. There are months where he's on the night shift so he rarely sees her, and will still bring her every single day he's off.

It breaks my heart when dcg gets sad and doesn't want him to leave. I'm sure she knows when he's not working. He always has the lamest excuses, too. "You have to stay here because we're getting our tv hooked up." "I have errands to run." "I need to take the car to the shop." And then dcm usually ends up picking dck up after work, like dcd can't even pick her up early.

I love spending days with my kids so I don't get why some parents are so eager to get rid of them. These days go fast and they will regret it.
