My husband and I are both full time stodents. We have four boys ages 12, 11, 7, and 4. It was cheaper to put my two youngest into private christian school (they have all day kindergarten and the public school does not) than it was to pay for daycare. The kids are all in school until around 3:00pm. I have time to study during the day. My hubbie stays home with the kids while I work in the evening since I have an easier time with school work than he does. He cleans (or motivates the kids to clean) and does most of the housework. My days off are spent cleaning and extra studying. I am looking forward to graduating and maybe working a nice quiet weedend night shift or two. (I`m looking forward to those shift differentials. ) The first step was the hardest. Once we got into a routine it just becomes "normal" for your house. Oh, and we take all the student loans, grants, etc. we can get our hands on to pay the bills.
