I work second shift from 2-10pm Mon-Thu and 1-9pm on Fri. My husband works all over the place it may be 7-3 or 10-6 or 2-10 with me or even 9:30pm-7:30am overnights.

How on earth are we going to work and have our baby together? There is no daycare open after 6pm and I'm not sure if anyone will accept two parents with such a varied schedule.

His mother is not qualified to watch a child in her mental state, and his sister already has 4 children and works from home, my mom and all my aunts and grandmothers live over an hour away from us so they're out too.

I don't know anyone in this town, don't know how to find a private sitter that is flexible and I'm just worried one of us is going to have to change jobs or something and we both love our jobs and are finally stable with great benefits.

What would you do?
