Left a degree when I was 19 for many reasons.
Now I’m married and have a 21mo and an 8mo, and am 33 weeks pregnant.
I’ve decided I want to finish my degree (Primary school teaching), I would like to provide a better life for my husband and my children.
The course starts in October, so I’ll have a just turned 2yo, just turned 1yo and a two month old, I will be returning back to work in June/July next year as well.
I’m aware it’s going to be a lot having three young children, working, completing a degree and trying to keep the house running and in a somewhat presentable condition 😂 but AIBU in going for it?
It will benefit us so much in the long term, allow us to buy a bigger house, won’t have to worry about childcare in the holidays, will have more disposable income to allow the children to do whatever activities they wish to.
My husband doesn’t seem very enthusiastic, honestly I think he’s just thinking about the short term hassle rather than the long term benefit. He hasn’t said anything about me not doing it, but it’s made me wonder if I’m being silly/taking on too much?
The degree will of course be part time, will be finished when youngest turns 4.
