How can anybody be a Wife, mom, student, and still work?!

Question

Im stressing out bad. I feel like crying. I don't even know why I'm posting I just feel like talking to someone. Has anybody done this? Is it even reasonable. I've never been good at multitasking. My husband and I are struggling financially. Bad. And I'm starting school this fall and we have a 12 month old baby. I wanted to just focus on school and not work. And I haven't worked in a year. But now I think it's time for me to work. But timing is just terrible. Anyone have any advice ? /:

Answer

I'm a wife, mother, student and I have 2 jobs 😊

Answer

I don't see it as an issue as log as u have support system in place, my mom bettered herself while going to school full time for years always getting the next degree. She worked full time and was a great mother to 4 kids and a wife to a husband who owned his own business and she was constantly helping him when needed. I always saw it as how strong of woman it made her and how much she did for us. It's seeing how she was when I grew up that I know I can be a working mamma when I go back to work after the baby :) just think of the impact you will have on your baby :)

Answer

Damn that's pretty rough but u gotta put ur big girl pants on and do what you have to do for ur family. Try working part time and going to school part time for a while and when things get better maybe you'll be able to go to school full time. Don't stress too much, everything gets better with time ❤️

Answer

It can be hard if your not good at multitasking but make a schedual. Schedual when you work and what hours your not working and be like I'm gonna clean for 30-45 mins then do homework for 30 then eat dinner. And schedual your daughters feelings into it. Like if she eats at 5 put feed daughter at 5 and then after play with her for a lil while or whatever her normal is

When I first got married I was 18 fresh out of high school, moved to a new state, working, going to school, and dealing with my husband being deployed to Afghanistan. It was absolutely the most stressful thing in my life. Just having a strong support system and someone to talk to really helps

Answer

*hugs* You've got this momma. It will be stressful but that is where your H is going to need to step it up to help you out. If possible, I would suggest doing an online classes so you can study in the comfort of your home or on the weekends. Wishing you the best!

Answer

My aunt has 4 kids. 15, 13, 9, and 6 years old. She's not a wife. Her husband left her for another woman. He won't pay child support and she won't go after him because she doesn't want to cause him any trouble (he's in the military and they might discharge him if she takes him to court over it). She works 2 jobs to support her family. AND she's going to school. I don't know how she does it

Answer

I have, and so has my best friend. Its not the easiest thing to do, but you can do it! Just take a deep breath & calm down. Think of your future, you're this for your family.

Answer

I can't imagine how difficult that is! I had to quit school to work 3 jobs to pay rent and take care of myself. Now I'm in the navy

Answer

Deep breath! Just take it one step at a time. Similar paths but I have more flexibility to figure it all out (still overwhelming). With that said, could you survive with financial aid to help balance the finance assistance you need at home to focus on school? How many years do you have left to finish? If it's like a year or two would a loan be an option? I know it's not ideal but at least you'd finish your educational goal sooner and start your career, make better money and simply just focus on being a wife, mommy and career.
