I managed to get my GSCE's done by attending 6th Form part time and took my exams a year later than I should have.
I keep thinking I'd like to take some A-levels, if I could maybe go to college part time and say do 2 a-levels over 2/3 years. Has anyone gone to college post-baby? Or am I simply mad for even thinking of trying?

wow,you even went to school?You are even more amazing than I thought.

Anyway,I go to college,I'm finishing up fresman year and for my sophmore I'll only take exams without going to classes and then go back to my third year normally but I'll only have one child...

If you want to do this and you have a good support at home and someone to leave your kids with you should do it,but deffinitely disscus it with your OH and family and your older kids if they'd be okay with it...

i started college last September while i was pregnant with Adam, luckly i had him over the xmas holidays so i didnt need time off, but i was only going to take a week off anyway.

I only go once a week for 3 hours, im doing a level 3 course which my teacher said is the same as an A or O level (i always get them two mixed up)

i dont find it hard atall and i have 4 kids, we were given an assignment last week that doesnt have to be in till after easter coz its a big one, but i have finshed it and will take it in tonight (yes im a swat lol)

go for it! its gret to get out of the house for a few hours on your own

Nikky, I only went to school 3 mornings a week that's why it took me so long to finish my exams. Even though at the time I'd quite like to have given up, my mum and dad literally made me go, and I'm glad they did now.

Layla, that's part of my reason for wanting too. While I love my kiddos to bits, being able to speak to people in my own age group for a change is quite nice. By Sept I'll have 3 in school, 1 full days at playgroup and 1 just mornings. My nan and mum are always willing to have a couple of kiddos for a few hours.
I might go after Easter and ask what is available for me. One day when they're all grown up I'd quite like to be an English teacher at junior/middle school level.

It's really wonderful that you're making plans for yourself,although I'm sure you're a great mom,you need to think about yourself too.
