Im about 2 weeks into school and I am missing my kids like crazy!!!! I know I have to spend a lot of time with this A&P class to get everything down but am I supposed to feel like I am neglecting my kids>?? (Not to that extent) I miss them! I want to bring them to class with me.
I know that I am doing this for them to make their lives better and more stable, but why do I feel so bad>?? Ive been having my daughter sleep in bed with me because she likes to cuddle.
Yes he is 20 months old and right now has a cold. So combine terrible two's and a cold and holy moly! I wouldn't trade him in for anything in the world but sometimes its hard for the hubby's to relate sometimes. I luckily have a rockstar hubby so he helps whenever he can, I just have to learn to ask for help
I am really trying not to rush things, I think waiting until the kids are in school is a perfect idea! Of course that will be awhile away because we are trying to conceive now. I also agree I LOVE online classes. I do feel they are MUCH more work though. I think I am going to wait another year to start clinicals (well if I even get accepted), I just hope the waiting list doesn't double!!
I'm not a lady, but I know how you feel. I miss my kids like crazy. They're in school and I'm at work during the day, and I'm in school a couple of nights a week. My daughter(12) and I do our homework together, and I stop by to see my son(17) when he's at work.
I just keep in mind that everything I do is for them as well as me.
Gee I feel like a bad mommy, I can't WAIT for class to start so I can get a break . Well not really because I work 6 hours on Saturday and 6 on Sundays and I totally miss my son while I am gone. I just never adjusted to the SAHM thing...I was a real working chick-50 hours plus a week. I always made more than my hubby so it was SOO rough making the decision for me to stay home.
What I have noticed is I agree with the mom who said putting her son in daycare was a good thing..my son is really getting bored being home. I feel he needs interaction with other children and a more new and exciting environment. I have started to "ignore" him in a way while I study, like I found myseld actually saying go watch TV!! OMG never thought I would make my son watch TV-EVER! I used to play and teach him so much, now I just don't have time and I feel guilty.
I want to put him in daycare even if its 1-2 days a week, but we can't afford it-AT ALL. How do you guys wing going to school and having your kids in daycare?? That would be SOO ideal for us now and our future. I suppose your hubbys make enough so its possible? Lucky ducks!:bowingpur
I could have wrote this!!!!
I am happy to get a break in the evening after taking care of my 2 and 4 years old all day!!! Even though I am so sleepy while I am actually in class. I have been home for 4 1/2 years and still not adjusting to the SAHM thing:o I want my social life back and want to be able to spend a little more(you know what it is only one income especially in Northern VA a killer!!!).I wish I could put my kids in day care just for them to have friends as well and do more things:oBut I don't have the money for. I don't want to wait until they go to school to go to school because it will be too much time wasted in my opinion!!!Well I need to start buying lottery tickets.
Hi all, I kinda have a different situation. My kids, unfortuneatly, but fortunatly for school reasons, are 10 hours away. Now I don't get to see them as much throughout the year and Its also harder to find time to call also, by the time they are out of school, I'm in class, and when I get out of class, they are in bed. I'm taking A&P this semester, big Histology exam tomorrow : (, i've been studying all day, I also have Medical Ethics, First Aid and CPR, and History (also a challenge for me, cuz I'm just not interested in it. My boyfriend has 3 kids that live with us, so I'm pretty much Mom to them, but I just don't have time like I used to. We hardly ever go out anymore, seems like I go to school and then come home, that's my life. But we find out the 3rd week of March whether or not we are getting into the nursing program. So I just keep telling myself that this is just the tip of the iceberg, I'm not even started yet with the really hard stuff, so I should just shut up the griping and just roll with the punches. Looking forward to this forum, would love to talk to other prospective nursing students.

My husband used to get up at 4am to do his homework before work officially started and then went to school in the evenings. We barely saw him. I was home all day and night with two babies, but you're right - it's hard on "Daddy" too! He doesn't talk about it, but I know those days were really hard on him. Your kids are lucky to have such an involved Dad!

OMG! Am I making posts in my sleep??? I'm the same way! I actually feel like I am a better mom to my sons when I am able to go to school/work for at least some part of the day/week. I do miss my kids on the long days though. It's no easier with the 4yr old than the 2 month old. I really try to spend quality time with them every chance I get.
