Working nights (while my husband works days) and taking care of my 7 month old

Is it doable?

My friend did it. It is feasible if tiring but if it has to be done it has to be done. You could try it see how it works out

@SW-User I'm thinking it has to be done. It's rotten but a year or so of it won't kill me

Aw yeah. I hope it goes ok for you. Keep the faith! @Starsandfire

My brother and his wife had this arrangement for well over a year. They managed but let's just say they were glad when it was over.
It's doable. Probably not enjoyable.
You can do it. Plenty of people have done it and worse. For instance, wives with new babies and husbands in combat zones.

Try as much as humanly possible to find time for the two of you. Martinis by the trash cans coming and going, love notes in a shirt pocket.

You will both feel stressed. @Starsandfire

@Mamapolo2016 we already do feel horrible stressed, but maybe having enough money to pay our (very few but still) bills will help.
That usually helps. I wish you luck - if you need to vent, you know where to find us.

Actually, the hardest part may be when you return to being home together again.

Do you really need the money that bad?
People certainly manage it.
