Um i think you mean my (prior) three jobs i only have one child.
i would love to work later but have a limited train schedule
if i miss the 5 the next one isnt until 11
I think that if i miss having dinner with my child every evening would be worse for her long term.
I do make the effort to go when i can but between my 3 hour a day commute and work there is only so much time i have for anything else

Sorry, didn't go back and re-read the post.

But it doesn't seem to me that you're making much of an effort here. Take the train FIRST, then go to Mass. There is a website, masstimes.org, that will help you find a parish and a time when you can attend.

Remember that "man doth not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." The same is true for your child. She will see and understand more than you think.

I do feel for you - life can be really strained and tough at times and the hours seem to fly past. Just remember thought that if you take time to build God’s House (going to it is first) he promises to bulid yours. So maybe a closer better paying job is something He might have in mind for you.

I work shift work and only get one Sunday off a month - which I have to take out of annual leave.

Anyway much blessings and some prayer for more time!

Mel
