NC for this as it may be outing. I've recently started a university degree the offer was very last minute and I took it because it's a great career opportunity. I was a sahm before this. Problem is I wasn't awarded nearly as much student finance as expected and can just about scrape by with overdrafts to pay the childcare. I was planning on sending DD to swimming lessons/Dance classes this year as she's started asking to go with her friends, now can't afford anything at all. No classes no extra curricular activities no trips out. Nothing. I have cancelled all unessesary expenses like gym/charity and reduced all bills as much as possible. By the time I finish the DC will be 7, 4 and 3 and I just feel like they are going to miss out on so much because I'm not home any more im desperate to get into my dream career but feel like I'm doing it at the children's expense. Can't help but feel like I need to put what I want on hold for the DC but when would it ever be the right time? Could really do with some opinions!
