i've decided to go back to college, but the only college that offers the course i'm taking (museology) is an hour and a half away from home, so i will be travelling every day. i just figured out i'll be leaving in the morning before my daughter gets up and most nights i'll be home after she is allready in bed. it's kind of discouraging me into going back to school but it's only for one year and i know we'll be better off in the long run. it's going to be so hard not seeing her much.
has anyone else had to go through not seeing your kids all day for most of the week. how did you manage

yes i have but not for as long as your gonna have to go thru it. I didnt get to see my daughter while i was in the hospital and I was there for over a week I was able to talk to her on the phone but not too much due to the fact i was so overly tired, I would tip to you is maybe you can set a time when you have a break between classes or lunch to call her she will be able to look forward to this time and so will you (u didnt mention how old she is) but even the youngest of children know mommys voice even if it is over the phone! Hope your able to handle it and like you said it will better both of your lives if you go back to school!

I worked during the day so that I could be home in the evening with my daughter. I very seldom worked late. My husband spent time on the road so that he was only seeing us one weekend a month. He is no longer working at that job. I have to wish you luck with this because I know not seeing my daughter would be terrible for me. I felt guilty when she was younger when I would work later than three in the afternoon. I know that there are something we have to do and being a sigle parent is extremely hard. My cousing had to work night work and her daughter would live all week with her other aunt. On the weekends they would be together. Their time together was limited so my cousin had to make sure the time they had was quality time and even that was hard. There is not right or wrong there are only choices. As long as you have a good support system in place you should be ok. The first few weeks are going to be hard because you and your daughter are used to being together. I wish you lots of luck
