Starting a Tech LPN program next week...

well i dont have any kids, so i cant truly understand what your going thru. however, if my husband, was in anyway, unsupportive of my school, id walk. i sacrificed to get him thru school, and now its my turn. hes taken over all of the household stuff so i can concentrate on school. and i still work 20 hrs on the weekends to maintain our health ins.

dump your boyfried, i mean it dump him. you dont want to be with someone who wont help you achieve your dreams. you can do so much better, and he prob knows that. so holding you down is the only way for him to hold onto you. you can do it on your own, believe in yourself

I agree with the other. I am a single mom with no support from their father and my family lives out of state. trust me if i can do it by myself anyone can! believe in yourself, cut expenses, and dump you boyfriend. you don't want to get half way through and have to drop out because of other family commitments! good luck to ya!

hi. i am 23 years old starting an lpn program at a tech school next week. i have been an aid for 4 years and am ready for the next step. i am doing the part time class which is 2-930pm every tues wed and thur then working 10 hour days fri sat sun and mon. i'll be doing this for the 18 months i'm in school. i have a 15 month old son and a very unsupportive boyfriend:banghead:. he already made the comment that i shouldnt go because i wont feel like taking care of the house. i tried talking to him telling him how important this is to me but it doesnt sink in his thick head apparently. i'm really worried about this and am looking for some advice. how did you all cope with school children and working??

thanks for reading!

i'm so sorry to read this, my question to you is, why stay with a boyfriend who will never support the most important decision of your life? what makes you think that he is going to support you when you have to study up to late hrs? when you have clinicals, etc.... and come home tired and instead of having dinner ready for you, and your child nice and clean and fed, your the one that is going to have to do it ? sorry to tell you this, but if he really loved you, he will support you, and try to make this important decision of your life as easy as possible. :icon_hug:to me it sounds that he is somewhat jealous and doesn't want you to better yourself. could that be it? think about it now... good luck!!
