a day in the life of a parent working night shifts

I'll get up at...

6:30am

And then I...

Help my toddler get dressed and get her breakfast

My day will consist of...

Feeling anxious. I tend to all my daughters needs and have to get back to bed at some point to try to get a couple of hours sleep before going to night shift. All the while getting ironing and dinner done etc

I'll look after...

My daughter and to a lesser extent my partner

Other things I'll do in the day are...

Shower, dishes, sweep/Hoover floors, change bedding. Spend as much quality time as I can with my daughter as I feel so guilty leaving her to go to work

I'll go to bed after...

8:30am the next day
