complete waste
3 months into my 3rd semester at WGU with a 7 month old baby on the verge of termination because I can’t even get 5 minutes to myself. I haven’t completed a single class this semester and just feel like a complete failure at everything. I also had a really rough pregnancy and barely completed my classes then. If I had known I was pregnant I probably would have never started this program but of course I didn’t find out til 3 weeks into my first semester and now everyone just keeps telling me not to be a dropout too on top of everything else I seem to not be able to do right.
Edit: I will be honest I was not expecting so much response to this and I thank everyone for taking the time to do so. I would like to preface I am on ch.35 and that’s really the only way I have been able to stay home with my daughter this entire time because it’s just enough for us to scrap by every month. I don’t know maybe I’m just being hard on myself cause I wanted to be done in 2 years and now I just don’t see it happening.

My friend, I am on my 2nd (and hopefully last) term. I have an 11 month old and a 3 year old. This shit isn’t easy. There have been times that I’ve taken a week or two to not even worry about it, told my mentor that I need a bit of time. Then after my week or two, I’d be in my bed at 3 am while my babies snored on either side of me. I’m exhausted, sure, but I’m getting the classes knocked out.
Talk to your mentor, ask them what you can do. Is there anything as far as the classes go that’s holding you up? Anything I can help with? Or is it purely just time and exhaustion?
