I never see my kid - this SUCKS.

[minkajane]

I'm working and going to school, both full-time. I leave for work before DS gets up. I'm home just long enough to change clothes and head off for school. I get home just in time to kiss DS goodnight and he goes to bed. This is four nights a week. And every other weekend, he's with his dad. I feel like I never see my kid.

This just SUCKS. I'm trying to cram in time with DS whenever I can (Saturday mornings, Sunday evenings, every spare second I have) but half the time that quality time ends up being DS watching cartoons while I do homework on the couch next to him.

For the next year, there's nothing I can do about this. I'm not asking for advice or anything, I just needed to rant. I miss my kid.

I'm sorry. That's hard. I was in a similar situation when my DS1 was younger. I was working full-time and in school full-time. I also had to work weekends, so we really just had no time. It was really hard.

I'm sorry. That does suck.

Just keep your eyes on the prize. You're in school to improve both your lives. It's another year. That seems like an eternity, but it's not.

you're setting a positive example of supporting yourself and your child, learning and bettering yourself. those are important lessons.

hang in there.

Just remember: it won't last forever.
