Go to the night classes now and get started on your education. As your baby gets older more options will open up to you. Many colleges have babysitting services, times change your husband's hours could change, you may have a relative who could come live with you and watch your child. Keep your eyes open and you will find ways, don't give up.

Wait until the child gets old enough for daycare and then school to further your career

Try finding a baby sitter. Maybe someone in your family or you husband's family could watch the baby while you're in school.

day care for the baby or wait until the baby is in school and then pursue schooling.

Solve each problem one at a time, one day at a time.

Not only take night courses - take weekend courses as well. It will suck for the longest time and your husband needs to be willing to help with everything but it can be done - even in less than 10 years! Also look for colleges that have accelerated courses. Go to the local hospital and ask the nurses there if the recommend some place. Good luck

You may realize later in life that you should be enjoying your child right now. Wait till baby gets a bit older then enter in daycare. Or ask husband to look into other options so you can go to school in daytime hours.

Get started by taking some night classes now and when the baby is older and can go to a babysitter or daycare, Up your class load. If you want to go to scholo don't wait or you may never do it.

baby doll, Have you tried on-line schooling ? Or on-line work !

Look for a branch of a university. Most of those smaller campus universitys are geared towards the older adults who work, have children, etc. They usually have a daycare right there at the university.

You and your husband choose to have a baby. First of all, do not blame this on your child, the children always suffer.

You should have talked this over with your husband before you were planning on getting pregnant, babies, children are a big responsibility, and yes, they are expensive, as you are finding that out now.

If you wanted to further your education, you should have done so, BEFORE you and your husband got pregnant, now you are stuck in a "rut" as you say.

Now you had the baby, your child will always come first and what you want will come second, talk this over with your husband, maby there is a place at college that can watch your child while you go to class. Lots of colleges have that now.

There is ALWAYS a babysitter, if you want a reputable one, check out a nanny service, or you can post a "babysitter wanted" sign at your local grocery store and "screen" all the potential babysitters that want to babysit your child, but be careful, they can put false references on their applications.

The best choice, would be to see if they have a babysitting room at the college while you take your classes, or the nanny service, or have your husband watch your baby while you go to night school.

Children first.

I am in that situation almost I go back to school and finish my degree. But I HAVE a little baby then i went back when she was 6 months and it was ok but it was a little hard ajusting to school. so the first sem i withdrew myself out of school because i was overwhelmed.But now I am in school this semester and my baby is now just turning 12 months and I am happy tha i made the right decision to go back she is at a sitter on the days I have classes. like monday, wed, and friday but i am not yhere alday long.So you can do it it is january now so do some planning find a reliable sitter and go ahead and find the college and get acepted first in school and you and your husband will need to work things out. like somedays when I have school my hubby will keep the baby for those hours i am at school.But you can do it.Never know when the hubby might walk out on you so it is better to get educated and get a degree and have that as back up especially nursing you always have a job.
