Hi - I am at Uni part time, for the second time and I have a 3.5 year old and another one due at the end of the year (good timing). I've decided to take next year off, cos even part time (two half days a week) is too much to put a three month old into care. I will look at doing a subject a semester off campus so I can do it from home and try and keep my mind in study mode, and not just nappy and puke mode !

There is a woman in my course, doing it full time, with a four year old, a three year old and just had her third child earlier this month - she's taking five weeks off and picking it all up again !!! Her husbands work is very flexible and he stays home when she is not. She decied that she would rather have two years of hell instead of four of semi hell.

Does it matter that I'm not half of a younger couple !!!

Barb.
