Me too, 3 kids, 2 part-time jobs (= 1 full time job + bc you have to be in two different places, and remember more stuff), 3 hour commutes 4 days a week, all while attending grad school. Kids were 5, 13, 15 when I started. My oldest and I graduated within 30 days of each other.

How cool you graduated 30 days apart. Congrats. I mean that. It’s hard work. I was very lucky 2 sisters traded off staying with me for years to sit w/kids while they were small.

That’s so cool your sisters were there for you! Cherish that! 🥰 Yes, we laugh now, he’s 30 next month and thankfully I have amazing relationships with all 3 of them and my husband, who, by the way has very much learned to leave misogyny behind and be an equal partner. It started during these years.
