I am really stressed. I am in school full time and I don't weem to
have enough time like I had before I started school. I am feeling really bad and frustrated and this huge layer of guilt is piling on top of me. Somebody please answer my posting I really could use some great advice! |

Are you also employed? Do you have a partner? Is he/she picking up any of the slack? Do you have any family nearby that can spell you for a couple of hours a week so you can get some schoolwork done? Full-time school is a huge commitment of time...you AREN'T going to be able to do everything you did before school. Set some priorities. In my life, housework is the first thing to go We'll need more information before we can give you sensible advice. Best, Ann |

Unless your kids have to get up early in the morning to accommodate your schedule or go to school themselves, I don't think getting them to bed before 10:30 is in any way necessary. My kids routinely went to bed between 10 and 10:30 before they started going to school in the early morning. (Now, we're lucky to get them down by 9:00, but it seems to work okay for them.) Assuming they *do* need to be in bed earlier, it's not clear to me from your post why you're having trouble getting them to bed sooner. Is it that there is so much to be done in the evenings that you simply can't pull everything together before 10:30 (I'm familiar with this particular problem!)? Are they resisting going to bed earlier? Or something else? I think you'll get more useful advice if you can be clearer as to exactly what the problem is. -- Be well, Barbara (Julian [6], Aurora [4], and Vernon's [18mo] mom) Daddy: You're up with the chickens this morning. Aurora: No, I'm up with my dolls. |
