Actually, I've had the wonderful fortune of meeting a few other single moms at various "Admitted Students Days" and have found that faculty and staff are receptive and supportive of my concerns. Still, I can't help but to feel a little insane for taking this on.<br /><br />I've accepted the fact that I will be a borrower of many a loan. And I will take out loans to cover child care costs for those times when I can't be fully devoted to parenting or need a break...something I didn't feel the need to do as an undergrad. <br /><br />My biggest parenting concern is that I may get so overwhelmed at times that quality time with my daughter suffers. I plan to take your advice and make law school an "8 to 5"...have you found this do-able all through law school? Even in the first year??Rachael_https://www.blogger.com/profile/04251522645299978593noreply@blogger.com
