When do you find time to work with two kids?

Question

4 yr old and newborn plus go to school

Answer 1

i woudl have to say, that going to school, working and raising a 4 year old and a baby (the hardest part) is a little over the top.

i do work and i am pregnant with #3. i worked 2 jobs when i was a single parent of 2. i used an online degree system, and i didn't push it or make any unrealistic goals for myself (ex. doing mini-mesters, thinking i could do it in 2 years etc)

i also looked for jobs with shorter hours/more days a week. like mon-fri i waitressed from 11am to 2pm (made boo-koo bucks!!!) and then i did the opposite when i found a reliable babysitter. i worked 3 days a week, doubles. (nursing,cna)

the former, because you can actually apply for part time daycare if it is 4 hours or less-that is cheaper.

the latter, because i had more time with them, and it was easier for my sitter to have more days off, than be tied up 6 days a week.

Answer 2

I know its very hard as a mother of 2 kids myself. Some how once you start working everything just falls into place with a good schedule. I was a home-maker at once, then started school and eventually found a job. I'm always on the go, but can't see myself at home anymore. So you can also do it as well it's called "Sacrifice", and by the way  with all that I even managed to loose 35lbs. Good luck and again nothing is impossible, your great efforts will pay off in the long run.

FYI I married young at 16.
