DS was 2 when I went back to study chemistry 5 days a week, school term hours (a lot of the students had children at school), then went on to study teaching. I had precious little support from DH, save that he believed I could do it (difficult when he gives no physical support and berates me for my paperwork taking over the house at assessment times) and just got used to staying up until 1am then teaching up to 5 lessons a day the next day. Liebling got quite a few films in my bed while I worked because DH "had" to go fishing before assesssments. I was full time mum, full time wife, full time student and full time teacher. I was not good at any of them, but passed at least.

But I do love learning, so was thrilled to get back into it and didn't have a problem with not having studied formally since doing my bachelor's.
