My dad works late and i miss him?

Question

my dad works a night shift, and he's gone the whole night. i really miss him, when he comes home, he sleeps cuz he has work the following night. i miss spending time with him. all in all, i only get to see him about 1-1 1/2 hours a day. it really depresses me and i cry myself to sleep most nights. i guess it's something i'll have to get used to, but its really sad for me.

Answer 1

Aw, don't feel so bad. You just have to know in your heart that he does love you and he has to do what is best for his family.

In the meantime, try talking to him and telling him how you feel about his late night work shifts.

See if there is any days he has off. And if he just so happens to only have one of the week days off ask him if maybe you can possibly stay home from school and spend time with him.

If he doesn't want you missing school (which is what he will probably say), plan something, just the two of you, unless you want the rest of your immediate family to come with you.

Plan something so that you guys can spend time and catch up on things.

Trust me, he is only doing what is best for you and your family.

I hope that everything works out in your favor.

God Bless You.

At least your dad didn't leave you when you were 8. What do you suggest? He quits his job so he can play ball with you? Grow up!

Answer 3

He's just trying to do his job. Maybe during the time you have with him and on vacations you should try spending some time with him. Talk to him, play a board game, watch tv together. With the time you have with him you have to make the most of it! You shouldn't cry yourself to sleep b/c of that. Your dad still loves you. Try cheering up a little.  

Answer 4

You have to know that your dad works alot because he's trying to make ends meet and make things better for you all. Try to spend the time that you do have with him by playing a sport with him or having him teach you something or just talk to him about how his day went.

i know exacly what you mean i never get to see my dad at all he works all day long. and when he gets home at 9:00 at night both of us are too tired to talk but some times he gets home a little early so i ask him how his day was and we talk for a few min. but really thats all i can do and my advise for you u is when you do see your dad make those min. count make every second count  because seems to  me thats all that you really can do  

Answer 8

He's working to support you, I understand why you're sad but what you're asking is selfish.
