God love 'em the bloody terrors :p lets see.I'm terrible at formal planning but loosely based lists seem to work well when confronted with kids (based on a friend who did uni with 2, I admire the socks off her)... From what she told me she makes lists, mostly in her head, of what needs to be done, has a priority for everything on it. Has the day planned does the critical things on the list and if stuff gets in the way non-critical things (like ironing, hubbie can go crumpled apparently or iron it himself) can drop off to the list for the following day. Shit can't happen forever, but trying not to stress the little stuff helps.

Although, planning is crucial if your trying to do uni with a baby. Do you have any free time in the day without the baby? Can your husband take care of her for an hour or so every evening to give you some free and clear time to study and do assignments? He'd also better be willing to give you some free time on weekends to write assignments and stuff as well... Although I remember you saying that he had to work a lot at the moment. Has things there improved?

I'll stop talking now :oops:

He ate lots of chowder
