Hi,
feeling the mummy guilts.
Im a full time studying parent, I have 3 little ones and 2 older kids, I've just started a new job which requires me to work over night, im working 3 nights a week and dont get home till 730 am, I then get the kids ready for school and drop them. I get a few hours sleep in the afternoon before heading off to work which meens hubby is doing dinner, showers ect on the nights i work and i dont see the kids till the next morning, i feel bad for hubby cause he works long hours, i feel bad for the kids cause they're use to me being there for them all the time. one of my kids is also ASD, ADHD and has generalised anxiety, he doesnt seem to be handleing it very well.
I also suffer with depression and anxiety and chronic neck and back pain.
not really asking for advice but just needed to vent.

What type of work is it?
Does it compliment your career path?
Do you enjoy the work?
Is it just to supplement your household income?
Do you feel as though the hours are the only time you can fit in work around your study schedule?
I totally understand where you're at.
I feel guilty that my husband has to finish work and tag in to look after the children whilst I tag out and go to work. There's no rest at the moment for anyone.
It won't be forever, after you finish your studies hopefully you can work more suitable hours.
Hugs xx
