I'm gonna third it - P's get degrees! I wrote my thesis during my son's first year, and it was hard to watch my marks slide, but I figured that I had three huge responsibilities in my life (son/husband/uni) and it was only uni that I could re-do if I needed too. I am far more proud of my 4 something GPA than I ever was of my 6 something GPA, because it means that I devoted myself more to my son than to my thesis.
