[quote=Anonymous]You are certainly a hard worker even though you are quite strained.

I think you can drop the class without shame.  Everyone at some point in life takes on more than they can handle.  This is your situation, with your husband's recent job change and young child. $600 is a fair amount of money but not a devastating loss.

However, I would recommend that you seek advice from your professor and college counselor before you do so.  Make sure there is no other option that can help you improve.  Be brave and ask for help and advice non-anonymously in the real world.  Is there any other mother or sympathetic young woman in the class you could connect with?

Regarding noisy children in the background and Zoom fails, since pandemic wfh, I've seen everything from a VP's daughter passing through in pajamas to use the printer to background violin lessons to pets jumping on keyboards and cutting off the cameras.  People with older kids certainly have them around.  We do not have a rule that people have to have childcare/prove childcare.  Generally the parents of infants and toddlers do have it.  And now we are back in office 3 days per week.  I don't know how noisy your kid was but at my work, as long as they were off camera 99% of the time and not heard, nobody would care they were there.  Just sharing so you don't worry that your situation is out of line in general.  However, do what you can to make sure you fit your current workplace's norms.

You're trying hard, and I admire that.  Good luck to you in working things out.[/quote]
