Any moms out there, getting the GUILTS?

Published

I am still doing my pre-req's (2 to go) and I often wonder if I should be waiting to go into the RN program until my kids are older. I am still helping out at school once a week, and I'm home when they're home, but I can't do the 'weekend' stuff very often, or at all. You know, the girl scout stuff or family weekend trips. I have an exam almost every Monday. I'm already 41, so should I really wait! Please, give some encouragement/advice! Thanks, Heather

All these guilty moms going to college, working, taking care of families....many are divorced and on their own. Makes what I saw on the "Today"show even more odd....did you know that there is only ONE full time working mom character in all TV shows currently? (She can be found on the show "3rd Watch") Is that bizarre or what?

PS Didn't mean to go off topic!

Hey everyone, I'm certainly glad that I'm not the only one out there. My kids are in school, and my daughter can get a 'nervous' stomach or headache when things are stressful at school. Sometimes, I think it would be nice to just let her stay home sometimes. Not that I would make a habit of it, but some days she's in tears. Last semester I had a quiz or exam EVERY week, so I could never miss quiz day (no makeups) and I didn't want to miss the day before quiz. I couldn't just get the notes, they were too complicated (A & P). Anyway, I just felt like I could never miss. I did have to miss one week when she got a horrible flu, I couldn't take her anywhere that sick. I had to go in for the quiz, with her staying home alone (she's 11) and me calling every 15 minutes! STRESSFUL! Anyway this semester does seem a little less stressful, but again a quiz every week again!

I guess I just needed to explain since there seemed to be some misunderstandings.

You all have made me feel sooooooooo much better, you guys are my support! Heather:kiss
