[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Thank you to everyone who posted. My dh has been considering med school but would need two years of science in the evening classes prior to sitting the mcat. Then a year of applying before starting so we too are looking at a long road. We have 1 child and 1 on the way in the fall. I love the idea of. A large family but don't know how realistic it would be to continue on in the baby preschool years as basically a single parent. For those that went through medachool or had a spouse do it with young children was it doable? Was medschool harder or residency? I Was thinking if we could be done with babies by residency it might not kill me. Any other advise would be awesome too. [/quote]

So many factors. Age gap of kids. Sex and personality of kids. What you do for a living and how much you earn. How much help do you have - paid or family. How smart your DH is. What specialty your DH is interested in.

I think you will be fine if you have money, meaning savings or family. If you don't have money (savings or family) and don't have physical help (paid or family), I think it will be a very hard few years. Not impossible but hard on you. At the same time, true single moms have to do it so you should also be able to do it.

I met DH when he was in med school, got married when he was a resident, had our first child at the end of residency and 2nd child during his fellowship. Those first few years are a blur but we had local family. My mom was recently retired and helped us out immensely.[/quote]
