I want to go back to school...

...but I’m so scared to miss out on time with my baby and future babies!

When I graduated high school I started an early childhood education degree, but ended up moving and just not going back. It’s been 3 years now and I still can’t stop thinking about how much I want to be an elementary school teacher someday!

But I don’t want to start school and miss out on time with my daughter, plus my husband and I want another baby or two in the future and I don’t want to miss out on time with them either. I’m a SAHM right now and loving it but I’m torn.

One plan I had was to maybe take a couple classes a semester so I’m not away from my daughter all that much? And just slowly get there. And when all is said and done with having kids, once they’re all in school I can go full time and still be home while they are home? Is it stupid to start a new career when you will likely be in your 30s? Is it worth it?

Also are there any other mama’s out there who are raising babies and going to school at the same time? What is your experience? How are you doing it? Would I be able to get financial aid?
