Going to nursing school has always been a dream, but I chose to start a family at a very young age, and my education was put on the back burner. Over the last year, I have worked super hard to get back into school (I am 36 and had only had a HSD), and finally applied to nursing school (lpn), to which I was accepted. My dilemma? I thought my husband understood the work load involved, he agreed I should not continue working as a bartender/server at night, agreed to pulling more than his fair share with home and kids, and we have 4 kids, the youngest being 2 Not only will the program be hard, I will have to commute 60 miles each way to school which means I need to leave anywhere from 5:30 am to 6:30 am, everyday.
Last night, he tells me about some of his grand plans to attend some concerts/shows with friends over the summer and he will be going on a 4 day mini vacation with a friend, my 3rd week of school. He can't understand my upset and I can't understand what he doesn't get.
The program starts in 4 weeks and I am really starting to wonder how I will be able to be successful in school with a husband who doesn't seem to understand the sacrifices we will all need to make. Any advice to tackle this before it becomes a major problem?
