[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to empower yourself and take the classes you want to take. Your husband will just have to suck it up. If something were to happen to him and he died or couldn't work or he leaves you, you will need the means and ability to support yourself and the kids.

Do not allow him to determine your future and take away your power as a person. You are still a person and capable of making decisions for yourself. Take the classes, and let your husband figure out how to cope. [b]Your entire family will benefit from you furthering your education. [/b]Your husband is a moron if he doesn't see that.[/quote]

This is highly debatable.  If OP doesn't need the degree and is getting it for simply the sake of education and the experience then it most likely won't help her family.  They will be using money that could be used to instead save for college for her children or pay down their mortgage.  Or invest for retirement.  Going back to school could actually HURT her family.  She's MARRIED with children and is no longer in the position to make her own decision in isolation. Her husband most likely pursued his education when he was younger and before children.  They are in a different place now and there are other factors to consider.

It's extremely selfish to go and spend a lot of money on an unnecessary degree that results in less time with her children and spending money that could be saved for college.  [/quote]

Exactly right. And the PP is a moron if she doesn't see that.[/quote]
