Basically, I wish to study paramedic science in order to become a paramedic.

Currently I have a 5 yr old, 1 ur old and I’m 8 weeks pregnant with my third. My plan was to wait until all kids were of school age before I went to study so that it would be a lot easier with balancing motherhood and studies/work.

The other half (of 10 years) has completely shut that down and said no because I will never be home, I won’t see the kids, the job is a lot and blah blah blah. I said I want a career and to show the kids in order to get things in life you need to work for it. He’s completely shut me down saying it’s not right I should be at home looking after the kids. Of course the witch... I mean MIL has to get involved and say that I can’t do things how I want now I have kids. I’m a mother and I have to accept that (although she’s just left her 2 other kids with her mother all the way in Europe so she can work for 3 weeks, plus she works 2 jobs- yes she’s Queen of hypocrites)

I’m 27 and I feel like I don’t have anything to show career wise. I currently work at my local hospital (only as bank staff) in medical records. Just wanted to make my kids proud and do my dream job. I feel like he’s holding me back. But according to him he’s ‘just trying to make my life easier’ am I over reacting or thinking about myself too much?
