maybe your husband can support you - like take care of the children or do some housework .... if he takes over some chores around the house, or takes care of the children, that will give you more time for your degree, and also make it easier for you to concentrate on it - perhaps you can make some sort of timetable, based on which you decide which one of you does what (for example: the children need to be picked up from school at say 3 o'clock, you have time for that so you do it; on the other side, maybe he can take over helping them with their homework in the evening, so that you can learn in the meantime); or, maybe some relative can help - your or his mother ...

I dont fit your criteria however I am 24, a single parent of a 5 year old, work 40 hours and am in nursing school. If you are determined go for it. You have to schedule time for EVERYTHING as sad as it sounds, just so you don't skip time with your family. You can do it!!

Good luck getting your degree. I'm planning on going back to school in two years, when my youngest goes to KG. I'm married with 4 kids and 28, and I can't wait to go back. Just keep at it. It may seem hard, but you will make it through and you will be better off for it.

You just have to stay focused and determined. You have to keep your goal and don't over work yourself. I work full time but go to school part time, I have 3 children and married.

Good luck. I hope you make it. I can't. I've been wanting to, but I work 40 hours and have 2 kids and I hardly see them now as it is.
