I have applied to do an access course with the open university its a great course that will open up the pathways to do a degree in a subject I am fasinated with.
But everyone around me in RL says I'm being ridiculous and won't be able to do it so I'm just throwing money away as I'll never complete it.
It's going to be tough the course starts in October so I will have a 6 week old baby and 3DCs under 6yrs old, I also plan on going back to work in November, however I will only be working one night a week outside the house and 3 nights from home (only a few hours).
2 of my DCs are going to be at school full time and DD3 will be at preschool 2.5 days a week, DP works evenings so can take the baby whilst I get my work done on the days the DCs are at school.
The course is completely distance learning and requires approx 9hrs of work a week.
AIBU to think this is doable and I'm not mad in doing it?
I don't want to be stuck at home for another 3 yrs doing part time work and being bored during the day counting the months till DC4 can go to preschool.
