I don't think I should take the MCAT in Aug. Latelly things btw the hubby and I have not been so good. I don't know if its from the MCAT stress or from things we as a new family need to deal with.
For those who don't know the whole story,check under "my husband is layze". I guess its a combination of eveything. Some of my friends say keep on doing what you have been so I don't delay or get off track, but I think I should step back and "fix" our issues first, then concentrate on the test. I mean if we can't survive a lousy test, forget about med school and residency, right? If you ask what my husband has to say, well he doesn't have much to say (no communication skills)in fact I don't even think he knows I stopped studying last week.
I don't know, I'm just dissapointed at him and sad about the whole thing. I do know one thing for sure, I will eventually get there and make my girls proud. I just wished it would be now. I'de rather go now while they are still very young (in contrary to most moms here) and be there for them while in grade and high school.

Sorry ladies, I'm just so depressed frown things are really not good here and just needed to vent a bit!

Eli,

sorry things are so bad at home for you. I wish I could be there to help you out. :goodvibes: Will your husband go to counseling to work on his talking skills??? Sounds like he really needs a reality check. True, if its this bad now, then it won't get any better down the road. :banghead: Been there so I sympathize totally. I wish you had a good study partner to share the study burden with you and help you with the kids. That's the only way I did it. You are wise to try to fix this problem now because later on in school there just isn't time and then things get more ugly. Remember that if momma isn't happy, no one is. :weeping: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Eli:

Good for you for sticking in there.

I think that the possibility of feeling major resentment toward your husband would only make things worse (if you did not take the test). I applaud him for not letting that stand in your way. I hope the two of you can work things out. It does not get easier, especially if you have to pack up and move to be in school. It can all be done with open communication - so I would keep encouraging him to work on that.
