Hi Grace,I hope all Moms read your great article, especially if they are wrestling with the desire to go back to college and the guilt over leaving their family responsibilities!
You make some excellent points and offer lots of encouragement!

In response to Great article! posted by gitaylor:This has made me feel so much better about returning to school. I have worried so much about what this is doing to the family. Now I realize that:
1. Daddy still works from home and is still there even though I'm not.
2. My kids are excited that I'm going to school. I'm studying to be a teacher and they are so happy that I ask them lots of questions about their own classes so that I can relate what they are doing to my own coursework. They know that they are a part of this too.
3. I am a valuable asset to the other students in my classes. I am about 12 years older than most of my classmates, but I have experiences to share about my own children that relate to the course topics and I have been called upon by my instructors many times to talk about my experiences.
This article has helped alleviate some of my guilt so that I can focus on the fact that in the long run, having a degree in education will be much more beneficial to my family than waiting tables.
