Student moms

How has being a student been with this LO or if you were a student with a previous LO? Please especially chime in if you were a graduate student. I am considering applying for a phd program. When I got my masters I was single and fancy free, lol.

    I'm ABD all but dissertation, and I've found it to be extraordinarily difficult to dissertate. Luckily my MIL will watch her Wednesday mornings so I can have a few hours to work on it each week.


    You're amazing! What's your degree in?
    mrs G what are you going for?
    I found grad school very hard just while pregnant. It also depends what you're in for and where you're going.

    I started back in school when dd1 was 6 months old and I graduated this past may. I not going to sugar coat it working full time while going to school at night and be a mom and wife was freaking tough. I had many melt downs, but DH is amazing and if he was not so awese I would not have made it. I am so happy I did it though!

  • i graduated last may with a MS. it was tough only because my final semester i was in my first tri and very sleepy:) i work in healthcare so early early days and late night classes sucked.

    i found once you have a routine it is slightly easier but super helpful! a PhD might be easier since group work may not set your schedule back! Give yourself plenty of down time and time with kiddos in your scheule. If you can.  can you tell how annoyed i was with group work my last semester:)

    Good lucka PhD thats awesome!

  • I am working on my master's in functional special education.  It hasn't been too hard yet, but I was told my classes are about to get a lot harder.  The hardest thing is trying to find time to work.  I tried to stay late after work so I could do homework.
