baby at school..?
ok idk who might of read my post last night about DH & i not being able to afford child care. i have been thinking & thinking & this is the idea i came up with. DH works mon, wed, & fri. he goes to school tues & thurs. he only goes to 3 classes which are broke up one in the morning, one in the afternoon, & one at night. i work in the mall, which we all know is open all day long, 7 days a week. my thought was to work all day tues, thurs, sat, & sunday. that way i am still getting my full time hours in, & am off the days hubby has to work. as far as him being in class goes, a friend of ours is willing to watch T during DH's night class & as far as the 2 day classes go, i thought DH could just take him to class. he is a very mellow baby & after being in the car, will probably sleep thru his hour long classes. we do have a few friends that are available during his class times, so we could possible ask them to lend a hand as well.
i called my mom to talk about it & all she has to say is how improper it is to have a baby in a classroom. any opinions? personally i think if the baby is not disruptive during lecture & the professor is ok with it, what's the harm? maybe i'm not just seeing it...

Re: baby at school..?
I think it's rude to bring a baby to class, too. My DS is well behaved--really well behaved--but he still fusses when he's hungry or bored and you can never guess when that will be.
Some of the churches in my area have cheap daycare. Maybe you can afford to drop DS off for a few hours. SOmetimes they charge hourly. Or maybe you can find a nanny for only during his classes. Maybe a family in your area has a nanny and would be ok with letting you nanny-share with them.
Don't send the baby to school with your H. He doesn't need the distraction, but the other people in class REALLY don't need it.
A lot of colleges offer free or discounted daycare for this reason.
I would be upset if someone brought a baby to a college I was paying thousands of dollars to go to. Some people already have a hard enough time concentrating, a babbling or crying baby isn't going to help. Sorry...not trying to be mean.
