Should I….?

For the whole month of February my wife has been working nights. I get home from work and see her for ten minutes everyday. Saturday is our only day as a family. Luckily I have help and support, I can drop my son off and get a workout in still everyday. It gets tough on him. He tells me everyday he misses his mom. He tells me everyday he misses me when I go workout. Now whether or not he, at 3 years old, understands this motion is still up in the air. He appreciates the affection the I show when he mentions these things. Now don’t get me wrong, it is very tough being home alone with my sun every night for a month. But at the same time a relish and appreciate that I can at least do that. My busy wife also just took a 4 day work trip to California. Very hard on her she says. Also hard on us at home. Now the conflicting emotions of should I. Should I be angry, upset, resentful? Should I appreciate, relain, and be grateful. I think it’s ok to be both. And I shouldn’t feel bad either way.
