My wife and I are both nursing students and have an 18 month old. He's in daycare until 5 and goes to bed around 8:30, we just make sure to spend those few hours with him, and spend the rest of the time studying. Seems to work so far.

At first I thought you meant "is there any time to study with your kids" as in help them with their homework. I feel like crying sometimes when I see how much homework they have. Im dead tired and still have my work to do and then have to spend what should be our family time studying with them. I study while my kids are at school and then try to get another hour in at night, but thats about all I can do between their homework, dinner, childcare, laundry, shopping, etc.

I'm in the exact same predicament everynight. being in an accelerated program doesnt help. i have no time to actually study like I need too. i also feel like im missing out on so much time with my son and that i am putting school first. im overwhelmed
