You may not get more hours with her but you can ask that she nap so she can stay up later to be with you.

I am also a full time student and I work in the evening. Family just don't understand unless they're doing the same. The best way I can think of is to use a time log. Record what you do each hour of the day and see where you have even ten minutes of time. I find some time during the weekends for my family. So if you don't have time through the week plan a dinner for the two of you. I know full time is hard but if you switch to part time it will take longer to finish school. Let your daughter know that as soon as you are done with school it will mean more money and more time. Good luck!

Quality, not quantity. You don't say what age. So if in elementary school, read to her even if it's for 10 minutes, praise her on her work, hug her, tickle her tell her you love her and tuck her in, hold her until she goes to sleep. If in Middle School, ask her about her day, giggle at her "crush", compliment her hair, thank her for being patient, hug her, kiss her, if in High School, don't give her a hard time about her bed time, thank her for helping out, do her nails, brush her hair. You do not have to spend lots of money or go to the mall or an event, little things make great memories. Congratulations on being productive. It is hard work to go to school, work and parent.

make sure you spend uninterrupted time with her with NO distractions. no phones, nothing. go outside and play hide and seek, have a race,make a list with both of your favorite things and compare (food, color,etc.) something where its just you and her working together...those are the best moments and it really only takes fifteenminutes to have an impact. do something pure, not tv, even a board game can be too much outside influence. you will not regret it. and you are doing good being in school...you area lready making a ifference in her life being a motivated person! good for you.

When this happened to me, I tried to pick up my kids at lunch, and a least see them then. Try staying up a little later with them, and try to have at least one day a week when you dont work or go to school. Good Luck

Maybe you need to make sacrifices. Go to school part time.
