I work 3rd shift my GF works 1st shift. She leaves at 5:30am, I get home 7:15am I work Mon-Fri and sometimes Sun night. Her schedule swaps days every week. One week she works Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat and the next week she works Wed, Thurs. We would need a babysitter from 5:15am-7:15 am on the mornings she goes to work. The kids usually don't wake up until 8:30am Sometimes they will wake up early which they would then require diaper changes and being fed. My oldest gets fruit, dry cheerios, and milk and my youngest gets a bottle and fruit and a cracker. They both can feed themselves if you give them their food. If they stay asleep the whole time you can literally lay on the couch and watch TV etc
