Work,school & single?

Anyone doing this?

I just got promoted to a salary position at work and have to work 40 hours, I have my daughter 100% of time and am going back to school in the fall but trying to decide  how many classes to take.

 If any of you ladies are balancing all of this id love to hear your tips!!

  • I work 40-55 hours a week depending on the need. I keep my daughter 100% and utilize the babysitters as much as I can afford to. If your schooling isn't dependent on financial aid, I would start off with 1-2 classes to get back into the swing of things. My financial aid is dependent on me going full time so I take 4 classes a semester and all are online until I can get things worked out at work.

    It is hard, you will have to give things up (sleep, a social ife until you adjust, etc) but it will be worth it!

    This is perfect! I was planning on 2 classes And maybe one online but maybe one of each will be best

  • I work and I'm single, but not in school. I work early mornings so I don't have to spend too much money on a babysitter (I live with family and my sister watches her in the morning until 8). It's exhausting working on such little sleep. Being a single parent is hard, but you do what you have to do. Good luck in school! I'm sure things will all work out. Sorry I don't have any advice to offer.
