Basically I decided to do a degree with the open university. I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. I have started the course and enjoying it. It's a part time course and will take 6 years to complete I'm 34 now. I can't stop thinking today that I might be wasting my time with it. I can't get a babysitter to cover school holidays. I've never hired a childminder and I don't even know how to go about it all I know is when my kids were smaller they screamed and screamed at anyone but me. All I can think of is the best solution is to try and get a job in a school. What are your views on this? Just want some feedback as to what you would do in the same situation. Waste of time studying? Or take the chance anyway and do it and hopefully something will work out in my favour with regards to the school holidays. They have no grandparents and my siblings aren't willing to help out.
