I am just so totally burnt out. Today was a terrible day. I'm pretty sure I failed a math test today. It's my second time taking this class. My wife and I have a two month old baby. My wife works full time and I'm a full time student. Bottom line I just need a break. I know we were planning on taking on all kinds of stuff at the same time. Full time student, new born daughter, reserves. Meanwhile my wife just went back to work after maternity leave. It didn't sound that bad when we were planning all this, but now that I'm in the thick of it it really seems I be compounding. I know we are very fortunate and my wife has a great job and volunteered to support us if I wanted to take a year off. I don't think I need a year, but maybe a little time might really do us some good. I feel like such a little bitch winning about it like this, but it really has gotten to the point where I am getting close to some kind of a wall. What do you guys think am I just being a pussy and need to man the fuck up? Or do you think it might not be auch a bad idea to take some time off and focus on family? I'm not racking up any debt and I have the fortune of being able to go back whenever I like. I really don't wanna be a deadbeat. i just hate my fucking life right now.
Sure take a break, take care of your baby. Use it to study and catch up when you feel ready. No need to have a pretense reason either. It might give you the opportunity to gain back strenght instead of repeatedly fighting the same losing battle.

I agree, unless your wife makes a comfortable amount and you want to try being a SAHD
Thanks. I feel a lot better hearing that. I know my wife is always supportive however I do, but it really helps getting another perspective. I know I'll get my mojo back. I just saw that dad on the university of Phoenix commercial with like 5 kids working full time and going to school on the side and it makes me feel like shit that I'm not doing more. After the summer I'm sure I'll be ready to get back at it.
