HOW DO I BALANCE BEING A FULL TIME STUDENT, FULL TIME EMPLOYEE, AND MOTHER HOOD.?

Question

I'M STARTING MY SECOND SEMESTER OF SCHOOL.LAST SEMESTER WAS ALRIGHT I PASSED WITH TWO B'S AND AN A, BUT I WAS ONLY TAKING THREE CLASSES. THIS SEMESTER I'M TAKING FOUR AND I REALLY HAVE A HARD TIME STUDYING ESPECIALLY AT HOME. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO BALANCE THIS LIFE OF MINE?

Answer 1

Sorry, but you really can't have it all.  You will not be able to be good at everything doing all these things at once.  It's great that you want to get an education, but you cannot do all of these things on your own without help.  Your children will suffer.

You don't mention your children's father or any help from your family.  Do your children go to school or daycare during the day?  Who takes care of them when you are in school?  I really can't see how your children get any attention from you with this schedule.

My suggestion is to drop your course load down to 1 or 2 classes at the most.  It will take longer, but your children need you now.  Then, get up extra early before work to study and do your homework when the children are still sleeping.

Sounds hard?  Yes, it is.  But it should be hard on you, not on your children.

  

Answer 2

Stay off of Yahoo and the internet!  Then, you will have time to study!

Answer 3

That's why I waited to have a child until after I graduated. This isn't the section for that kind of advice.

Answer 4

it's very difficult.  even part time jobs and no children made life difficult with a full load.  wish i had an easy answer for you, but the truth is it is extremely difficult to balance these things.  the best thing you can do is see to it that your children fare better, that they do not have to balance these things.  school first, than a job. children should be the last thing on a student's mind.
