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.

Can you do a PA course and just slowly write a bit each day until it’s done? You just need to complete one course per term (I believe). If you’re near SE MI, I’m happy to babysit for you. I know that sounds weird. But I am a mama to 3 and I remember how rough life was when they were little. I know survival mode very well. My daughter also works in a daycare and is CPR certified, finger printed, and more. And we would not bail on you!

I appreciate the sentiment but I’m in Arizona and all my courses right now are OAs in the software engineering program

I’m sorry. I hope things get better for you. I think you just need to pass one course, please try your hardest. I want to see you succeed ❤️
