I have three young kids,, one of them is six and has horrible emotional problems mainily because his dad is deployed in IRaq again. Anyway i do college full time but i do it online. it is so much more convient and you finish your classes earlier. I take classes at night time when the kids are asleep and it works out great.

Been there. You already know all the basics... what helped me, and I hope will help you, is that you CANNOT be perfect at everything. Taking the kids to the movies may get you a 'C' on that test. Acing that term paper might mean your daughter's angry with you for not reading her a second story before bedtime all week. You can't make everyone happy, and it's painfully futile to try. Trust me, I know.... I was the fool who tried.
And be honest. Be honest with your kids and yourself. Be honest when you're overwhelmed, be honest when you're frustrated, be honest when you're lost. Ask for help when you need it, from friends, professors, etc. Know that most of us have been there, and everyone will appreciate your struggle and your dedication.
You are a rockstar right now. You should be wicked proud of yourself. I promise this too shall pass, and be very very worth it when you get to the other side.
Peace & Love.

You can complete school and still raise a child.. it will be hard but it is possible. You will need to find a great daycare and may have to shorten your school schedule a class in the beginning but you will learn to adjust and setting a schedule for baby as well. Like having them in bed early so you can study and you still be to bed at or before 10-11 pm. Focus on your goals and never let your guard down. This will be a challenge.. but you can get success from it. Good luck.

same here! i have four kids and was divorced almost 2 yrs ago, so i decided to go back to school. it is hard, just make sure your priorities are balanced in a way that you won't be too stressed. i like taking my kids to events on campus, they like seeing "mommy's grown-up school" and i enjoy letting them get involved just as i am with their school. and dont give up, things will get stressful but you have to hang in there, show your kids how not to give up and let them take that example from you
