My husband and I both work full time jobs. I work 3pm-12am tues-sat and hubby has a rotating shift, sometimes 7am-3pm, 3pm-11pm or 11pm-7am. Only once in awhile do they have to stay home for 8hrs alone.
When we go on vacation they go to grandma's
they love it. And my mom will bring Abby to my house when she goes on vacation. We only live 2 blocks away from each other.
