[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't overfill your own plate.  Usually it's better to get schooling out of the way before kids, or wait til the kids are older to go back to school.  [/quote]

I agree.  
Before you focus on anything else, you need to get your house in order, OP.

Your nanny needs to step up.  Your child needs to have a routine with predictable sleep/wake times, and your husband should be your teammate.

Frankly, I understand why he doesn’t want to be there.  It doesn’t sound like you want to be with him as his wife, but that you want to use him as a nanny/housekeeper so that you can study.

So when husbands take of their children while their wives are indisposed - the husband is relegated to the role of nanny/housekeeper?

Basically reinforces the notion that women are the default caregiver in heterosexual marriages.

What do you mean by be with him as his wife? [/quote]

I mean share a meal, talk, laugh, watch TV, tell a funny story, take a walk together as a family, play a game, etc.

Guess what - they’d have time for all of that if her DH stepped it up at home, and stopped leaving every other weekend.

The H is the one who isn’t interested in being there “as a husband”.

This insane idea that women shouldn’t go to school because they have kids just further oppresses them. Her H needs to suck it up for a couple years because it will help the family as a whole. [/quote]
