is it hard to tackle all those? 

i know ill get much support and help from my husband but i just hope it wont be that stressful. I really want to get my college classes going in the summer 

It's very hard and I know for me personally I cannot give 100% to everything that is on my plate. I just can't. When I was younger before I had a family I could do it. But now it just seems like something gives. I'm the type that if I am going to do something it's going to be 100% giving it my all. YOu can't do that if you have kids, a job, and go to school. 

I know it would be way too hard for me so I decided to finish college before kids. If you can, quit your job or cut back on your hours so you have more time to devote to school. 

I find myself putting my homework on the back burner because I have to make sure my family is fed, house and laundry are in order, lunches are made etc. I'm usually doing homework after everyone goes to bed. Makes for a tired mama. I'm just glad I'm finally working on finishing my degree, and I'll be able to give my daughter a better life, and getting my nursing degree has always been a dream of mine.

Edit: I quit my job, & having a supportive husband has made me feel less guilty about not contributing financially to the household. 

it depends..if you can do online courses then you should be good.. i took online classes.. had a full time job and managed 3 kids with a deployed husband.. you just gotta work around it.. this deployment i have 4 kids now.. doin my online classes and watchin 3 other lil ones.. it just depends on how patience you can have and how to work your way around it.. 

I would say so. I worked 30 hours a week while I was going to college. It was really hard. I can't imagine also having a husband and/or kids!

There's no way I could have done it and gone to the school that I did. I didn't know anyone who was even married at my school, much less anyone with kids, and I was one of the only people who worked. 

Meh, it sucks. Royally. I was in school 40+ hours a week for the last quarter. Plus, home. Plus, my baby being in and out of the hospital. But...Its short term sacrifices. I managed home and everything and maintained my 4.0. Its possible, you just have to know where your boundaries are and what you are capable of. I go to school with people who have kids, SO, two jobs and a weekend job and still have great grades. If you're dedicated, you can make anything happen. You might have to pull a few all-nighters and live on caffeine, but you'll be alright. 

is online courses a set time like do you have to be on at a certain time?

Not with Ashford, you can log on whenever 

yes it is super stressful but having a good support system is sooo important, and having reliable trustworthy childcare! I was lucky enough to have my family's support while I worked and made it through nursing school, esp my last year as a single mom. It's doable, you just need to organize yourself and take advantage of any down time 

Yes, it is hard, but so worth it. I got pregnant the summer before my senior year of college. I kept going to school while I was pregnant, had our daughter, took the Fall semester off, then went right back in the spring. Had our daughter, graduated, stayed home for a while with the munchkin, then started working full time. lol. It was definitely stressful at times, but so worth it. 

I'm sure it's going to be. I'm about to go down that road. 

I did it without a husband, literally. It is hard being a single parent, working, raising 2 babies and going to college. It is possible if you are motivated enough and willing to make sacrifices. Like time with the kids or time with your spouse ect.

I'm in the same boat now but with one child. It's really hard and like others have said, usually something gets less attention. The way my schedule is set up now, I don't ever have one full day off. I either work, go to school or both every single day. Then of course when I'm not doing those things I have my daughter to take care of. In all honesty, I don't have a social life at all. But I know that if I keep at this, it will definitely pay off in the end. Good luck. 

It's doable. My husband does it, but of course I am his support system :) lol 

PO- way to stay motivated! You'll see your rewards when you graduate! It's hard to tell you children college is important when you lack it yourself. That was my motivator. 

PO- good for you, girl! It will pay off. It sucks right now, but it wont be like this for long. That's what I have to tel myself everytime I drop my babies off at daycare or everytime I have to sacrifice sleep to succeed in school. ^5 to ya!!
RB- If we can do it, you can do it! :-D
