I’m planning on going back to school soon. My program of choice is science-based and requires a ton of studying. How did you ladies manage being a SAHM and full-time student?
We currently live in hubby’s home state and I don’t have that extra hand or support to lean on for study time. I need TIPS!! TIA.
I study when my daughter sleeps. I know other mommas can manage when their child is awake but it doesn’t work for me. I’ll be done with my BS in biology in a month.
Congrats on your BS !! My little one wakes up far too many times at night that I don’t see how I’ll manage whether asleep or awake. I’ll give it a test drive.
@iyessi, thank you.
Oh okay yeah that would cause a problem. My girl has been sleeping through the night since she was a couple weeks old. I had her like three weeks before I went on summer vacation so when I went back to school she was almost 4 months old. Since then I’ve been pulling all nighters. I hope you can find a way to succeed. There are moms working full time, caring for their home and in school full time. It’s definitely possible.
You just gotta squeeze in time whenever you can. My 3 year old doesn’t nap so he’s up all day. My 7 month old takes one nap a day. So I try to keep my 3 year old entertained with a movie, or bring a bunch of toys out to the living room so he can be occupied while I do some school work. But my 3 year old has always been pretty good at keeping himself entertained. If both the kiddos are up, happy, and entertained, I squeeze in school work then too. But I usually get majority of work done when both of them are in bed for the night. You will have plenty of late nights and it’s going to be exhausting but it’s soooo rewarding and worth it. It might take you awhile to get in a routine but you’ll get the hang of it after awhile. Just squeeze it in whenever and wherever.
