Just ranting because I can't complain to anyone
Just ranting because I can't complain to anyone
I have night classes tues/thurs from 4-7:20. My parents pick my kids up and feed them while I'm at school. There's a day next month that they're out of town and I have pretty much no one to pick them up one night. My sister might be able to, if her husband can get home in time to watch their son, but she wants my car the day before so she can pick them up in it. But then I'd have no way to drop them off that morning. I'm probably just going to skip the second half of class that night and pick them up myself. My BFF works too late and my other BFF works graveyard. I hate adulting sometimes.

Have a classmate take notes for you or have them record the lesson for you

My son needs to go to school, and my parents are taking their car to pull their trailer ?
I’m just counting on missing the lecture. Hopefully my sister can meet me at my school to swap cars, and get them. I’m glad I only have 1 more semester and then we all get summer break. This stresses me out and I hate relying on my family so much ?

Could your sister pick them up in the morning that way she will have your car? Then you take your parents car since they will be out of town?

Well I’m super glad to hear that she will work with you. I am the type that hated to miss class, so I know it sucks to have to. Just one of the small hurdles you’ll have to get past to meet your final goal!

It’s 80 minutes, and it’s an anatomy&physiology course. There’s no way they could be in there. They’re only 6 and 2.5, so they wouldn’t be able to sit quietly or stay sitting that long.

Could you see if your professor would let you take them to class? I know they’re big enough to sit there, but how long is your class?

Yes, she's very understanding and flexible. It's not going to be detrimental to my grade or anything. I really try to attend every class so I grasp all the material. The lab that is the first portion of the class is more important, so if I miss the lecture after, it will be ok. I hated even asking my sister. She doesn't work and never wants help with her son, so I can't even 'trade' childcare.

Just give your professor a heads up way before. Every professor I’ve had is willing to work with you, especially if you try to work it out before it happens.
