Anyone else sad when DH had to go back to work ??

KKSBeans · September 2012

My hubby went back to work today after almost 3 weeks off with us. At risk of sounding like a big baby, I cried like I was never going to see him again !! He works 12 hour shifts as a restaurant manager, so we don't get to see each other as much as we would like, my days off (weekends), he's gone for 12 hour days, plus 45 mins drive time each way. So these past 3 weeks have been heaven.

Am I the only one that reacted like a 5 year old ?? lol

The only real cry fest I had after DS1 was born was the night before DH went back to work. I was terrified of doing it alone. But everything was fine. DH texted me nonstop asking for pics. I think it was harder on him than me.

He went back on tues this time and it was nbd.

I cried like a baby, too, and still miss him a lot when he's gone. I haven't really cried PP but this was really hard for me.

I was sad because he went back immediately after I had him. I went into labor and had him last Thursday and he went back to work Monday. I am so glad it's finally the weekend though! I can finally get some sleep!

I was pretty sad, but I know that it is going to be worse when he has to go on his first trip, he is in the office for 3 more weeks. It was also tempered by the fact that we are going to the cabin for 5 days starting next week!

I felt like he had died when he went back to work! I'm home alone all day because we don't have a lot of family nearby. DH is gone about 12 hours a day because he's a teacher and then coaches. I'm counting down the days till his season is over 4 games, one tournament.

He went back after three days, so I'm used to him being gone all day. BUT my mom was here the first week, my aunt the second week, and this is week two of me and baby being home alone all day he's gone from 11 to 8! It's very lonely!

I miss him as soon as he leaves, and I sometimes cry when he's going to be late. I feel silly sometimes, but I can't help it!

My DH is also a restaurant manager, I understand those days. I wasn't sad, so much as freaking out about being home with all the kids.

DH and I are both teachers, so we spend a ton of time together normally, being on the same schedule. I am really sad about him going back on Monday. I think I am going to be really lonely and probably bored, on top of being tired. I hope I don't cry when he leaves, though, because I know he would feel awful. Ugh. I wish I had a nanny or something to keep me company, lol.

Oh, so you understand. He is looking for a new career, because he realized he did not want to be away from DD 60 hours a week.

yes...our first morning with just me and baby girl she wouldn't stop crying. I couldn't make anything better I knew she just needed to sleep but she was so worked up she couldn't. I wanted to just cry and cry but I knew once I started I'd have a hard time stopping so i sacked up, drank my coffee and walked circles with her until she slept. DH was home for 3 weeks and it was a lot easier to have two of us instead of just me.

When Dh went back to work after I had ds, I completely lost it. I was sad, angry with him, and panicked that I couldn't handle it without him. Hopefully I handle it with a tad more grace this time around. It does get easier as LO falls into a routine. GL.
