OT?

Working dads can do it, they just need to have the right schedule.

My DW stayed home for 6 weeks, but I did the 10 pm to 5 am shift with Mr W, slept for 3 hours, went to work from 10 am to 6 pm, came home for three hours so DW could sleep, then hit the gym, then came back home. DW got her 8 hours of sleep and I got to spend a lot of time with Mr W. I could get in some extra work when Mr W slept if I wanted. He'd sleep on a pillow on the couch while I worked or read.
