I don't have a husband/partner, so all my study is based solely around when ex takes DS for his allotted time, day care and working hours. Which basically boils down to only studying one weekend a fortnight and late at night (DS is not an early to bed kind of kid unfortunately). I found it do-able but only at a rate of one subject per semester, I could do more but I can't get out of my head that I *have* to get a credit, therefore I turn into super cranky mummy when I was doing more than one subject at a time. Ex is taking DS less this year so I took a leave of absence. Next year I will go back doing at least 2 subjects a semester plus working part time, while DS goes to school 5 days. Hopefully I will be able to manage it all.
