I'm 33 and I've thought about applying to go back to university to study Physiotherapy. I used to work as a healthcare assistant but had to give it up when I divorced my husband and juggling 3 kids by myself was too difficult.
I now live with my partner who is self employed. We have 4 kids ages 6, 4 , 2.5 (my 3) and 2.5 (my stepdaughter). I really enjoy being a stay at home mum, being there to drop the kids off and pick them up and being free to attend all school activities etc. I also like having the time in the day to catch up with housework etc. But I also find that sometimes when I'm at home on my own in lack focus and motivation and i think I'd like something to focus on that's mine.
I've started looking at courses etc but theres something holding me back. It's a combination of worrying about missing out on time with my children but also my partner and I have both mentioned we would like a child together at some point. If I go back to university then having another child would be out on hold until after I've finished and then I wouldn't want to get t pregnant as soon as I graduate. So I feel like we would end up not having a child if I went back to university.
I feel really torn at the moment and I think I need some outside opinions!
