Going back to school, tips on helping my 3 children adjust to mom being out of the house?
Going back to school, tips on helping my 3 children adjust to mom being out of the house?
I have a 6 year old, a 2 year old and a 10 month who I have always been a SAHM to. I am returning to school to finish my nursing degree and will be gone 2 days a week and have tons of homework at night. I'm taking what classes I can online, so I'll be doing that at home. Any advice/tips on how to balance family life and school? My husband is very supportive of the idea of me going back to school, but it remains to be seen how much support I'll get from him once reality kicks in. Thanks in advance!
We do have a nanny coming on the days that I will be in school to provide childcare and do light housekeeping.

Your kids will be anxious at first, but if you give them some quality time in the evening, reassuring that Mommie will be gone for just a while and will be back, they should adjust just fine. Good luck !

Honestly, you should wait until your ten month old is in school. Your kids needs don't disappear because you've decided to go back to school. They aren't going to understand why you can't be with them, and why, when you are home, your homework is more important than they are. What could be more important than raising your kids?

Ask the Nanny to come for a day while you're there, to let the kids get used to her while you're still in the house.

i think of you may desire to be there on your dad. Assuming he's the daddy of her infant, this baby would be a factor of your existence. you won't like her yet perhaps you 2 might desire to objective to paintings on your dating on your father sake.
