I understand ur struggle though I have only one.anyhow u have to make time for study.what i did -i study the 6 hrs that my daughter stays at school and i had a neighbour who pick up her from school,in that way I had extra 30 min.U can read for an hour or two when the kids go to bed although its tiring after a busy day.If u have some helping hand like ur mother or in-laws for 2-3 months before exam that will be excellent.
wish u GL.

hey!we're all in the same boat,i have 2 boys,they're in pre-k and 1st grade ,it's very very hard,cause my husband cannot help a lot(works full time ,and even week-ends). i try to read 5 or 6 hours a day,when they are at school,and do all the shores when they are back.the week-ends when they're at home it's harder,but i try to do my best!keep going ,do not give up!i use to read 1 or 2 hours a day before i put the youngest in pre-k,it was kind of depressing but i did'nt give up!just keep reading even if you're tired,and do not do any shore until they're home.wish you the best.

welcome to the club everyone! Smile i also have 2 boys kinder and 3rd grader. My exam is in 2 months and I just had a very very disgusting nbme! Just look at our situation on a bright side and imagine if we make it with all the loads that we have? that's what we are, multi-taskers! Just pursue your dream! Let's just encourage each one and keep this thread going.....Goodluck moms!

yes moms! lets all support one another....i was planning on taking the ck dis month until I had very bad score in Nbme form 1 and got all depressed and when back to reading my books again..so hoping to take it by the end of next month...Im away from my 9 year old and my hubbie who is in cali and Im here in the Philippines with my 2 year old and Ive got a full time nanny...even that being said I spend a lot of hours studying but then i also feel so guilty for not spending time with my 2 year old...its very difficult plus the pressure coming from my hubbie to finish this exam so that we could put my family together....the only reason im here is because i can afford a full time nanny so that I can study......just thought of sharing my part with all you super moms out there....lets do this ladies!!!!

@usmlefear: hey, nice to hear from you kababayan...I'm here in cali. When is your exam. Mine is on the 14th of nov. and that's it, no more moving dates bec of the holidays. punta ka na dito, para 2 tayong mag-aral!

@oneexam: Hi, sorry, I don't usually open my skype account so we'll just keep in touch thru this thread. Honestly, I'm in no position to give tips. me myself cannot stick to my plan because of my kids ( you know what I mean, I have to dress them up to school, feed then pick up again!) so the only chance I can get a good study is from 8 to 2 only! by the time they get home I have to supervise their homeworks and lots of other stuffs! The only thing I can say is "make the most out of your study time!" and pray! Smile

Goodluck to all......
