So I realize that having a child right before I start the program which I've been working my ass off to get into, wouldn't be right. I have worked for my A's and someday I want to share this work ethic with my children. I know I have one of the best moms in the world but she only took a few college classes and then stopped going to school, and when my parent got married neither of them had a degree. Eventually they moved in with my dads parents while he attended Heald college to get a degree. My mom also became pregnant with me during that same time period. After thinking about this I've realized that in a way, I'm repeating exactly what my mom did. Both in our mid 20's living with our husbands parents and going to school. My parents always told me how wonderful it was to be a parent but at the same time emphasized how much stress it added. My dad constantly tells me "All I want you to focus on is getting that degree". I can't ignore my dads advice, after all he knows what it's like to live with parents, while going to school, and having a newborn. In a way my situation would be even more complicated because both Vince and I would also be going to school, where as my mom worked so at least there was someone bringing in a steady income. But my mom tells me that she really regrets not being able to be around as much as she would have like when I was a baby. I really don't want to repeat this, I want to prepare so that I can enjoy every moment. Overall I really want to set myself up so that when I have my first child I wont have to worry about making ends meet. I just wish I was more patient and time would fly by a little faster.
