    It can definitely be done From experience it takes a lot of juggling things around but it's definitely doable.

    It can definitely be done. I'm doing 4 units, have the 4 kids and I have just started working 4 days per week this year so it's going to take some juggling for sure. so long as you are disciplined and make yourself do you study/assignments even when it's batpoop boring or hard and have the support of your DH to take some of the housework load etc then you should be fine. Maybe start with a part time load and see how you go.

    My kids are older than yours though. I don't think I could have done it with one that little. My youngest was 2 when I started back in 2010 and now I have all 4 of them at school and the eldest is at boarding school. Plus I have a husband that works shiftwork so I do a lot of my work when he's on night shift and I can stay up as late as I need to getting work done. TBH, I'm ****ting myself that sooner or later I"m going to drop one of the balls I'm juggling - I'm studying primary teaching and I have a prac starting in a week for 4 weeks. THat's what is going to test me - doing a prac and staying on top of everything else. What are you going to study?
