Can I join in this "I hate my PhD" chat too?!?!? I'm nearing the end of my 4th year (shh!) and really ready to chuck the whole thing in - not really but it's such a good thought!! I've finished my second complete draft but my supervisor has gone and moved overseas leaving me high and dry and with a 10 month old who has chosen to be really erratic with her day sleeps!
Mrs P please do yourself a huge favour and finish it before you have a little one. Our angel joined us through adoption so we had no idea what time-frame we were dealing with; I effectively had an 8 week pregnancy and just couldn't get it all done whilst preparing for an international trip and getting the house ready etc. The pre-baby time is precious PhD time that is distraction free in comparison to having a beautiful but screaming baby clinging to your legs while you're at a crucial point in your chapter!!!! It is possible to complete with a youngin in tow (I say that because it has to be, I refuse to accept I've made it this far but won't submit!) but it's sooooo much easier before being a parent. I wish I had put in a bit more effort at the start and had completed earlier.

Now get back to it!!!!
