Yes you read the title correctly my SO got a new job that does not travel anymore. He will be starting before we move in. I am so happy, he will be working nights so he will be able to get his son off the bus and run him to activities and all that fun stuff. By the time he has to leave for work I will be asleep anyway so I am good. Yeah a trade off I know nights is not easy but it is what he has to do for now to not travel.

Oh and it is more money too. I am going to gloat here a little.....Sounds like my SO is really stepping up and doing what he said he would do......end gloat.

Just wanted to share. I also had a great weekend, I stayed home met him and his son with my mom for a movie and dinner, met my SO for lunch just me and him the next day. (it was her birthday and she wanted to get to know SS8 better.)

Thank you, my Stepdad worked nights and the whole swing shift thing was not great all the time. I am not needy I am good. There is possibility in the future for days but I take it at least he is home and will not be gone for a month. During the week I do not care if he sleeps I have to work so sleep all day honey.

It will be an adjustment. He will only be working every other Friday night into sat morning. The rest of the week is free. I do get I will have to deal with him sleeping every other Saturday during the day.

I am just happy, he current job was getting very close to sending him for two months over seas. I would rather deal with this.

Congratulations to you SO!

My DH works nights; I work days. We pass each other in the morning: him driving home and me driving to work. I usually get home in time to spend about 45 minutes with him before he leaves for work.

As downsouth said, it's not for everyone. We make it work. The fact that we do not have as much time together means we make the effort for our time to be QUALITY.

SS will be in a summer program than school so no not during the day I work. I will drop him off in the morning but it will be on my way to work and it is not far from where we will be living. I knew going into a relationship with a single dad I would be doing some stuff. Not everything but some. I really do not mind getting him up and going in the morning he is an easy kid to get up out of bed and get going. He is one of those that gets up early even on the weekends by like 7am at the latest.

Not ideal still but better than him traveling.
