[quote=Anonymous]I worked at my son's school; that is how I did it. And for my younger, I would drive like mad to be there to pick her up from afterschool activity, she was in aftercare, and then drive like crazy to pick up DS from his afterschool sports, then cook super fast, clean everything up. 
I woke up before 6 am the next day and cooked breakfast, got everyone ready, drove dd to school, and continued with DS to his school and my work. DS was also in a very competitive sport, and I would drive him to competitions on the weekend and even fly out of state for competitions. DH was with DD on the weekends.

When DH had to be posted overseas again, I did all of this on my own and took DD to competitions. When DD was in HS, I took her to competitions, and when she was a junior in HS and DS in college, I enrolled in a graduate degree program at one of the major colleges, brick and mortar. I did not work then, but I did study like nuts and had research that was more than 8 hours per day, for sure.

I did it all. I also drove 3 hours(one way) to DS' college on the weekends to watch his compete with his team.
I came here after years of having a full-time housekeeper.
Depending on how much you might earn, is the money worth it being this exhausted?
I will tell you that I truly believe that the body keeps a score. I am so tired now that they are employed and I am working full time in a very well paying job.[/quote]
