Starting a family help!? fireman and policewoman.?

So ive been dating my boyfriend for many years now and im a policewoman and hes now becoming a fireman. I wanted to start a family and i know it would of been hard enough with my odd shifts and moods from this job, but now also from him. I was wondering if anyone else had two partners in the service and how did you find it and how did you find starting a family? We dont have much time for eachother, but we understand that. But i really want to start a family.|||If you don't have much time for each other now, you'll have no time after a baby. Any spare time you have will go to the baby. Also, do you have time now for a child? They require so much. How will your moods affect the baby? This may come down to you making a choice, career or baby. If you can get yourself on regular hours with less stress, then start thinking about this. Not trying to be flippant with saying this, but do you have a dog? If not, get one. Not one that's left in the backyard and gets ignored except when you feed him. A house dog that you take for walks, have to get home to get them out of the crate, play time, training, etc. When you go on a trip, have to arrange a dog sitter. It may prove to be an eye opener on what you can give to a baby right now. Good luck, I hope you can find your balance.
