I went to college up until I had my baby. I was a stay at home mom until my daughter was 4. Unfortunately my husband left me so I was forced to enter the working force to support the 2 of us. I have only been separated for a year so she is still adjusting. I already feel guilty about working full time. I was thinking of just taking one or two classes per semester. Will this have a negative effect on my child? Or will it be better in the long run if I get a degree? Please help.

Depending on your income you may get money back. I went back to college taking a couple of classroom classes and a couple of online literature classes and got $1200 cash back each semester - which was a big surprise, but it is supposed to contribute towards books, gas, transportation and housing for the student to successfully get an education. I did very well in college and rediscovered parts of myself that I let fall to the wayside during my 20's. You can never be too smart, and really your daughter will be better off with a happy, educated, and financially secure mother!

you should get a degree. it will help in the long run. Why? because you will have a profession that could back you up better monetarily than lets say, a custodial job, or something of the sort. Your daughter is too young to conciously feel neglected and in the future, you might be your own boss if you have your own profession so you'll be able to be there for her when she really needs guidance-her teen years.

Lots of schools offer online classes or cohort programs where you only meet once a month. I think it depends on what you plan to study but you should definitely look into it.
I would speak with your daughter's teachers to see how she is adjusting to the new living situation. If she appears to be having difficulties right now, I think I would only pursue online classes where you don't have to leave her anymore then you already all.

It is never to late to go back I did it at 48. Look into online classes from an accredited university. In the long run you will be better off with degree.

I guess that means that in hindsight, you should never have gotten pregnant while in college. You let your hormones get into your head. Instead of preparing yourself for a better life, you gave in to "love", love that wasn't going to last.
Unfortunately, your child always comes first. Yourself second, and your "next love life" third. YOu could first take online classes from community colleges to get back to the school environment so you could learn at home and get some credits for the effort. It will take longer.

I would find out exactly how many more classes you have to take, that should determine if it is feasible.
Took me 10 years working full time taking a couple of classes a semester.
Sorry cannot input on the bambino, I don't have any....

Better in the long run if you get a degree. Also by getting your degree you are setting a good example.
