hi,i really need some advice.
after a lot of hard work and many hours of voluntary work to get experience,i finally got my acceptance ltr for msc public health nutrition!
but dh has now been transferred overseas!
to say this throws a spanner the works,is a major understatement.my brain tells me to go ahead with uni as i cant imagine the horror of applying Again and this will open doors(im hoping!),other than the peanuts im offered on my mind-numbing current job..
dh is trying hard not to show his disappointment,but he has been in and out of town quite a bit in the last few months anyway.
i am worried if staying on in the uk for 1-2 yrs with 2 yrs old ds(who will be 3 in sep) is the best thing for ds?

and now i'll have to move towns as it will not be financially and with childcare,commuting feels impossible.the uni has a nursery on campus..

am i doing the right thing?
any lone mums at uni part-time with young ones?

i know what u mean,i'm going to hv to face quite a bit of that derision,i have a very strong feeling.esp fromt he in-laws,altho no offers of help coming my way.i dont mean to sound catty.but thats how it is.

question is,who are we doing this for at the end of the day?i deliberately chose aprofession that would allow a decent salary at child-friendly hours.a huge motivating factor apart from self-development,is to provide a better life for them.

i know it makes sense and you know it makes sense. i think for some people its maybe jealousy, but instead they make out that they think they are better because they stay at home with their dc.

i cant tell u all how much better i feel.some light at the end of the tunnel.
will ring uni tmrw for meeting with program leader/lea for grants and start looking for accomodation,to get an idea of cost factor involved.
