Of course. My child is grown and at college but I still feel like a zombie. I brag about my 4 days off but that first day is just in bed recovering from the last 3. Then I'm cleaning house, running errands, appointments, etc. Doesn't really feel like time off.
I work 3 12s on night shift and feel like I’m a zombie through life and it takes a full day off to recover from nights. We also don’t make our own schedules so we rarely work 3 12s in a row or have a regular schedule. At least with 5 8s you have a routine down.

Absolutely. And you know it's crazy? Anytime I do something for myself, like have a day at the salon or go shopping for me, I get rude comments from family like I'm being selfish or something. As if my entire life isn't dedicated to working and taking care of my family.
Oh yes! Sometimes I feel like my life is on auto pilot mode. But like a really stressed out, anxiety riddled robot mode. If that makes sense? It’s like my life is routine but chaos.
I think M-F 8-5 is more stressful, especially when raising kids. I prefer working a .6 up to .9 FTE like two 12s per week or three 10s. Have you looked at working less than 40 hrs a week
