Should parents be going back to college and when is a good time to go back it you decide to? I am a mother of twin girls who just turned 3 years old. After graduating high school I did attend college for three semesters. Then we could not afford it any more so I had to stop. Now I am looking into going back but my girls are 3. I ask myself is now a good time to go back or should I wait for my girls to get bigger? If I wait will it be too late to go back? Anything I am not sure about should I go for what I want to go or which will take 4-6 years or should I get a lesser degree for now and then go back later when the girls get older? I do know that there are a lot of parents going back to school now but I do not know of any that have young children still? If I do go back to school I am going to have to work at lest part time to help support our family. Another thing for me that is going to make this decision hard is I am only 20 years old so most of the scholarships out there for mothers do not apply to me because of my age and also the fact that I am married. If there are any parents out there with young children help me out with this decision let me know how you are doing this and how hard it is on your children.
