Hey guys. I am debating deferring a semester due to family hardship. Sun still needs a lot of acute medical care, and it takes a lot of time and energy. With the other 2, after about 6 months of intensive focus they were able to get into a good routine and it took a lot less effort after that. I think that if I take the time to focus on Sun right now, he will really blossom and start thriving. Right now, I feel like my attention is too divided and nothing is getting my very best effort.
If i had to make it work, I probably could. But I think i would be miserable, the kids would be miserable, Mr. Star would be miserable, and we would all need months to recover. Since i don’t have to rush, it’s better to take things one at a time, starting with the biggest priorities.
Well, if I am being honest, I arrived at the decision after crying for 40 minutes in the parking lot before class because i’ve been at the ER 3 different times this week with a sick kid. But I think it was a good choice anyways.
Sounds like a sane thing to do @ninjastar . It’s hard when other things pop up with life but it’s important that family life wins out in the end. Seen too many people lose stuff on work or study and end up with neither. Family though…that is the important stuff. Everything else can wait.
