Masters/Work/Baby

[LittleFoote]

Just wondering if it is possible care for my baby and bloke and to study for a masters, part time and work three days a week?

Keen to hear both sides from those that have tried and passed/started then stopped.

For additional info, bloke works full time, half day on Friday. We have mums/nans both side that will be caring for baby when I go back to work. Masters course is run on a Saturday, one module every six months. I will be going back to work T/W/T.

I am a single mum. Dad does not help and pays no maintence. Kids see their dad every two weeks and I have to take them (I.e time with their dad is not free time for me!). I work part time and am doing a masters part time, which is 6 hours one day a week.

It is doable and I am totally motivated and enjoy the study/challenge/ intellectual stimulation.

I am struggling at the moment because my ex is making my life a pure living hell, but otherwise it would be completely doable.

Go for it xx

Apart from going to uni, how many hours a week do you spend on assignments?

It depends. We have two assignments per semester so in the weeks leading up to to them it is hard because it’s not as my kids can go their dads for the weekend! I should spend at least one evening a week prepping for lectures then I try and sit down every evening to work on assignments. But that means usually I just fall asleep. If I had a supportive partner it would be so easy! My parents help me a lot though. X
