Heads up, you're doing great! Of course there are sacrifices to make, you cannot take care of a child and do a PhD and be ALONE in this! It's amazing that the dad is so involved, thumbs up for him! Cuz this a time when you really need support. You already have enough pressure from the PhD, you don't need more from your family/husband. For sure the PhD will play off well in the long run, because it's a period full of valuable lessons. You get to learn so much not only on academic matters, but also on yourself and how to balance everything. It's also normal to have doubts, but I hope you'll get all the support and understanding so that you can overcome this! And thanks for giving such intimate insights, even on these least pleasant things!
I’m also a graduate student ! Thank you for this video. It’s really hard to find someone in my area going thorough motherhood, grad school and balancing that out. I work on top of these things. I’m doing a master’s though. I hope you keep making videos. It would be so nice to have a group support for all grad school moms :) You’re doing great and keep it up!
As a PhD mom, i advice you to never think of years ahead, live for this day, do your best, were all under pressure bt this is what were meant to do. You may influence your kid, my dad finished his PhD and made me know nothing comes easily, the greater you want to reach the harder things will get
Estoy pasando por algo similar. Es mi último semestre del pregrado (bachelor degree) y estas últimas semanas estoy fuera casi todo el día. Siento mucha presión y no sé si estoy haciendo lo correcto.
ya casi está allí, si no ha terminado las finales, solo piense en cómo se trata de un paso temporal. Sé que los días que te pierdes no vuelven, pero recuerda que este es un acuerdo a corto plazo. ¡lo tienes!
