Thank you everyone for your input and I am glad that many people understand the situation and have gone through it as well. Unfortunately I cannot cut hours at my job because they do not have the flexibility and I cannot quit due to I will not make as much money working anywhere else nor can I afford it. I do work a 9-5 job and children are already in school when I am working. Because of my husbands demanding job it impossible for him to help me with anything around the house. By the time I cook and we eat its time for all of us to go to bed, however I stay up to read and study.

Hello everyone. I need opinions and I have talked it through with my husband and my family, however I still don't feel like I have enough honest answers. I am ready to quit nursing school, I have another year and half left. I have good grades but that's because I have worked my but off. Unfortunately I think it's taking a toll on my own family. I am married and I have 2 children ages 7 and 4. My husband has a very dangerous job and he comes home exhausted everyday he sometimes works 7 days a week. I also work full-time. My family say that they will help me with the children so I can study and do what I need to do but I have been burned so many times frankly I just don't trust them and cannot depend on them. Nursing is my passion and I have tried so hard to make this work but it has now come to my breaking point. I have been depressed and have been crying constantly, I have been overworked at work and can't seem to catch up. I have been losing sleep due to the high stress and having my plate too full. It has come to a point that I am short tempered with everyone including my children. It pains me to continue being like that with them but I just keep on pushing myself. I want to make my dreams come true however not at the expense of my own family.
