I just finished and I have three kids, a 6 yo, 3yo and 1yo. It's tough but you can do it !! I want them to see mommy always tried even when the situation wasn't ideal.

Answer

I had my daughter during my second year on university. Took a semester off and returned back when she was 6 months old. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do but I did a full course load, did summer courses, all while working a part time job and I graduated a year later than my class with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. It was hard but so worth it and I’ve never been more proud of myself. You can definitely do it! Takes perseverance, hard work, dedication, and commitment :)

Answer

I do one online course at a time. It’s pretty easy, but my husband helps out when I need him to. I am going for my master’s and it’s nice that my university does 2 eight week courses a semester and so I take two classes a semester, just one at a time. Crazy to think that I will probably finish sometime next summer.

Answer

I've been taking online classes for three years and my daughter is 16 months old. It's hard but not impossible. I use nap time to start homework and I work on it again after she goes to bed

Answer

I have two toddler and pregnant. I take classes online and once this baby turns one I’ll be going on campus. My husband works on the campus I plan on going to so we have access to daycare and preschool there. He also gets 6 free credit hours a semester he can transfer to me.

Answer

I’m currently a FT student with a 3 year old and 4 months pregnant. It’s exhausting as hell but after every semester I feel so damn accomplished and knowing my babes will benefit from me being successful is what pushes me. 
Don’t get me wrong, I want to cry sometimes because of having to find babysitters BUT I’m managing and it’s a hell of a lot easier now that everything’s online! I sometimes feel guilty for always doing homework But kids are always so forgiving 🥰 and you just make up time somewhere else.
So for every downside there’s an upside. Push through mama, it’s great you want to do something for you! Goodluck 💕

Answer

I’m 34 with a 7 year old, 2 year old and I’m 11 weeks pregnant. I’m currently in college full time, online. This is my last term. I have 2 weeks left and I’m 8 weeks behind. The hardest time I had before I found out I was pregnant was making sure I made it a priority to study. I would always put it off and put the kids and husband first. Then I realized my needs are important too and if I don’t put myself first, no one else will. I even made the Dean’s List for the first time. And then wham, I got the first trimester fatigue. Now I’m scrambling to catch up before it’s too late and I miss my graduation. But the important points I’m trying to make is that it is possible and you can excel but you MUST be strong enough to put yourself first. Sometimes it’s really hard because you feel like your not being a good mom, but in reality you are, because your furthering you’re education so you and your kids/family can have a brighter future. It’s really essential to have a strict daily regimen, especially with toddlers. It makes your life a little bit easier and smoother. So, if your thinking about starting classes or if your already taking them...... anything is possible if you want it! Good luck!

Hi i’m in college and my wife just gave birth a week ago to triplets and  we now have 10 kids but i want my kids to see that momma can do it even when the situation isn’t perfect

Answer

I started a degree when pregnant with my first and graduated just after my second baby was born, I did distance learning through the Open University, there were a few seminars I could attend too on the occasional evening. It was hard was I was also running a home buissness some of that time, but it was doable. I got the children in a routine and studied during naps and bed time. I do regret not spending more time with my husband back then though. I'd come in and hand him a baby to hold, a meal or a cup of tea but be busy doing my course work every free minute! I could have taken fewer courses per year which would have taken longer but I'd have had a better family/work/life ballance and my home would have been better kept!
I did enjoy studying and don't regret it, but after it was completed I was so glad to have more time to be a Mummy who's in the moment with my kids.
