How to balance work and schoool in a 24 hour day as a mom?

Im 15 and will be graduating this year by that time i be 16, i have a 1 year old daughter. When i turn 16 i will have a full time job, how can i balance school which is 6 hours then work but still feel not guilty about leaving her? Should I work at night then go to school that way i have the afternoon with her?|||Don't worry about it too much. When she's grown she won't even remember these years of her life. Put your time into education that way when she's older, you'll be there for her... with a much better job.|||don't forget to sleep!!! Maybe you can get longer shifts on the weekends, work 10 hours a day on sat and sun, say from 7am-5pm, that will still give you time with the baby on the weekend and you can work less hours during the week when you have school so you will have time for her each day.|||Wake up with the faith that you will achieve what u have to today; play your favourite song, realize that not everything IS about u or may affect you; know that you have a beauty waiting for you to get home|||honestly lady,


drop out of school. it's not gonna help anymore.


wait until you are in your 40s then go back and get your nursing degree.


those schools are filled with single moms.|||Hi:)





Well I was in the same boat as you. I got pregnant when I was 17 and I was just starting my last year in highschool here in Canada. For me balancing school and work and having a baby it was difficult but I did it and I know that you can do it to. My due date was the first week of 2nd semester exams so what I did was finish my first semester at the school and then once it was the second semester and I was getting really big I was really uncomfortable being at school so here where I am from we have a school called ALC and basically you can go to that school and take classes or you can booklets of the work and take online classes. So thats what I did and it all tied in with my school so I was able to graduated with class when I was 39 weeks pregnant because I ended up going 10 days late! So anyways I had the baby after I was finished highschool but still being pregnant and dealing with school and work it was hard. I had a part time job at the local hockey arena as an usher on weekends and a part time job at a childrens clothing store so it was all really hard. Now that my daughter is here she is month old now and my job at the arena starts on the weekends again starting sept 4th and then when she is 3 months I am going back to the childrens clothing store part time which is going to be so hard leaving her. I dont even want to leave her for the 4 hour shift at the arena let alone for an 8 hour shirt at the store. But its just what I have to do to give her everything she needs. And I am starting online classes for college in september so its all going to be hard but while she is still young for my first semester of college i hope it will be fine because my classes dont start until 12 every day so i will have the morning with her then i work at 530 until 930 at the store so i guess i could cuddle with her when i come home from work. so i hope it all works out for you and you find a way to balance everything i know you can do it!! sorry for the life story though but i do wish you all the best:)
