Kids during grad school

It'll be one of the hardest things you may ever do. Be extra patient with your significant other and ask they show you the same courtesy. If you're feeling discouraged or frustrated just remember you are playing the long game for the betterment of those children.

We have 2 kids (2&5) and my wife is getting her Masters at night.

It's a struggle and extra work for each of us, but it's only temporary pain.

grad school is where it's at baby

no bullshite filler classes, just your domain you're interested in. plus usually better living conditions, more spending money, etc.

now if you have a wife, kids and a full time job, maybe don't take 12 hours a semester. speaking from experience.

The schools worked with you while the kids were being born?

I went to grad school. Two things were true. I was broke as the program had a ton of class work plus several hours of clinical per week and outside jobs were close to impossible.

And I had very little time.

Also, grad school is only 18 months to 2 years. Just wait until you are done.

The first two years of having a child are tough and can stress a marriage. Don’t add grad school to the mix.

Oof, I'm facing my MBA in the face next year in my mid 30s and the realization is hitting me hard.

I finished my undergrad and earned my masters in various stages of having kids while working full-time. When I started, I had 3 and by the time I finished we had 5. Patience and persistence are key.

You gonna have a “theyby” college boy?

Two of my kids are in post-bachelors programs and still on my payroll, but that’s not as bad as you guys and gals having babies while trying to finish school. God bless you.

Ha had a four year old son, and one year old daughter when I entered graduate school. My wife was an RN and work a midnight shift. Our social life was almost nonexistent.
