Re: Going to school and having a toddler...

I got my masters while having my 3 boys. started when my first was 3m old, and finished last year, 7m preggo with my 3rd.

It really depends on how you handle stress and how you feel about school.
I LOVE school, it's a good stress for me, I thrive on doing papers and researching and learning stuff (I know, crazy )
so I breezed right through.
yes I had long days of getting stuff done for school, but it got done somehow.
and my hubby was my biggest cheerleader.
and I had babysitting help from the grandmas for student teaching.
the support system and your personal views and attitudes about it are key factors.

good luck, go for it !

Me, I work part time and go to school full time.

This past semester I had class monday afternoon and wednesday afternoon.

it's definitely possible, good luck !!!

Re: Going to school and having a toddler...

I thought about it but I chickened out. I think mostly though because I know we're going to have another baby soon. I might think about it again after that. I'm sure it can be done though. I think it would just require really good time management (something I am still not good at).
