I have seen a course I am interested in and was quite enthusiastic about applying but am now getting cold feet. Why? Generally, I hate moving from my comfort zone even though I hate my job and it's causing me physical health problems.
Also, the course looks harder than I originally thought and has exams at the end which I didn't realise.
I currently work 28.5 hours but can reduce to 20. The course requires 10+ hours.
I have two children. I do all of the housework, cooking, home admin. I'm not sure how to fit in much else.
My daughter, in particular, is being very challenging right now.
I am a very stressy person. I don't do pressure well which is why I never had a high pressure job and do a job I'm overqualified for.
I am on the waiting list for a possible operation too.
But I really am interested in the course. It was something I'd considered years ago.
I am wondering whether to just do it. It might be a good distraction and force dh out of the 50s mindset and give me confidence which I am lacking. However, if i failed, that could backfire.
Another thing I could do us delay a bit til the kids are bigger. The youngest is 7, the eldest 12but I do keep coming up with the kids as an excuse. I don't want to resent them in the long run or dh for being a lazy arse
