Anyone else doing postgrad study alongside working and parenting

Hello, wondered if anyone else is in the same position as me and would like a support thread.

I'm a year into a postgrad diploma with a major London university, sponsored by my employer, might be about to convert to do a Master's in academic year 22/23. I also work full time (half and half office/home) and have two kids and a husband who also works FT.

My study pattern has been manageable so far, we have a three week webinar series, plus reading lists and step by step online material to work through. Then about a further ten days for an essay, and then 2-3 weeks breather until the next module. However in the diploma year I've got a longer project module coming that I have very little information about so far, so don't know what sort of time commitment to put into it yet. Some modules have felt overwhelming either because the material was hard or there was too much going on at home/work.

Have been pleasantly surprised by my results from essays in most cases so something is going right with my juggling act!!
