When my son was born just over two years ago it was only my husband in school. He's going through all the motions of starting Dental school so it's quite time consuming. I started school 6 months ago to get my Associates in Culinary which may not sound very challenging but I go to school in Dallas and live in Arlington so there's about an hour commute. My son stays at home with my grandmother and aunts while we're at school. My husband also manages a full time job so we rarely see him. We don't get to do a lot of the family activities we used to have time to do together, a lot of our family time means myself and my son Riley. Being a student plus a mother plus a wife is extremely difficult. Our relationships have literally become work to keep up with.. The whole reason we're in school to begin with is to better ourselves and our family as a whole. Yet, it's still taxing mainly in the emotional area. I feel guilty for choosing to go back to school and I feel like I've somehow left my son behind (even though when I'm not in class I am with him).
