[quote=Anonymous]		Keep your kids in full-day childcare and use that time to study. Treat it like a job with defined hours, even if your class schedule changes. Sleep and eat appropriately, nobody wants a parent or spouse who is exhausted and short-tempered, as much as those traits are portrayed as badges of honor. Part-time childcare is really set up for moms who are not working, they are needed to accompany kids on field trips, bring them to and from school, bring in snacks, we even had to make play dough which was a lot of fun.  I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed these activities with a looming work or school deadline. Spend your weekends with your family. It isn't fair for your spouse to solo parent during the butt end of the day when everybody is tired. It also isn't fair to expect him to solo parent on the weekends when the activities are mostly designed for two parent families. Yes, we are all capable of taking our children places independently... but most of us didn't get married to solo parent. Example, our toddler melted down at a carnival last weekend, and my husband and I both commented that we enjoyed sharing that experience together. He's our third, so we've been parents for awhile. I don't think either of us would have been as chill about it if one of us had "taken the kids out" by ourselves. 
If childcare is a problem, then wait two years until your kids are in school all day. Lastly, you shouldn't feel nervous about school. You are at a point where you no longer have to go. It shouldn't be causing you anxiety, not at this point in your life.
