Emotional, husband working overnight
Show your support
My hubby a few weeks ago had to go to TX for work for 3.5 days and me and my son were both very emotional about it. I felt homesick. But I also felt stronger when I woke up in the morning knowing I can still do it solo. Cry mama, eat sweets, watch a comfort show, and in the morning it’ll all be okay.
@Kayla uuugghh it sucks to hear them cry for daddy! I try to either distract her or show her pictures of him. I swear i think shes sad with him being gone, shes just more snuggly than usual🥺
My husband actually records a video for her like he’s talking to her and asking all about her day, if she did xyz, having fun with mommy, etc. She LOVES it and watches it on repeat. Maybe he can try something like that? Either way, you’re not alone. It’s so hard but you can do this!!
@Daylynn the homesick part, def get that! But if you look at it that way, it kinda gives a little boost of confidence being able to do it solo. That made me feel better
@Kayla omg i love that idea! Thats amazing, my daughter loves looking at his pictures and videos of them playing together. I'll have him do that for her!
Not the same, but my long term partner recently termed husband works daytime but does an overnight trip every so often ( on the road service salesman) It's hard for Ayden when daddy leaves for work because he definitely has a secure attachment to both of us
But as long as I keep him distracted it's a bit easier for him during the day not seeing daddy
Just went through my husband being at work from Tuesday to Friday. We haven’t been long distance since college 😭 my heart hurt and it sucked majorly to hear my daughter crying out for daddy. I kept routine the same to help keep her tired. Extra snuggles and a cookie for dessert to help ease the change lol.
