I have just read about fattartsrock's aspirations, we have mum2paris training to be a midwife, many of you have set up websites selling your own unique products, heaps more are doing training of some sort to further themselves in early childcare and/or education, andie with her fabulous way of getting more support for allergies etc, paws wanting to be a policeman.
so many noble ambitions and aspirations!
Where do you get them from?...makes me feel like a lazy bum mum!

meh, its just looking for ways to not go back to work, lololol.
For me, I just can't say no, is how I got to here.
I had HUGE bad problems with BF, and had a great experience with our lactation consultant here, who later on asked me to help run the BF group I now help run (I went along to it from when J was a baby) and I can't say no. then the DHB rang and asked if I wanted to help out with this other thing, and I just can't say no. I figure it will help me get to my goal in a roundabout kind of way.
For me, the whole lactation thing is cos I was one of the 2 to 5 % of women who couldn't physically BF, but I did and if I can do it, any bloody one can, so I want to help. Plus I love it. Its about Passion, like anything in life.
You know what you do Deb? You make BEAUTIFUL children and you ar a geat advocate or BF and Cloth nappies. And you are fantastically honest. You could do something with that?

For me it's been something I've wanted to do for 7 years...I had just put it off when I got married and became a mum...now I'm at a point where I've realised I still want it and I want it badly...that's what keeps me motivated and focused.
I sure as heck don't think you're a lazy bum mum though! Wrangling 3 kids...you're a legend!

Me studying is me not wanting to go back to work.
For me changing to Health Sciences is a big thing as I hated really hated science at high school but as I do want to one day become a MW I need to get over that and start now. And I want a challenge.

I'm planning on studying midwifery next year (If they take me  ) I would love to stay home with my kiddies a bit longer but I would like to earn some money some time in the future. I've always wanted to be a midwife and I figure why not do it now.
You SAHMs are definately not lazy bums I'm actually looking forward to having a wee break from the kids while studying.

LOL me too...sick of working, sick of having to work, and trying to win lotto is exhausting LOL! 
I was in education of some sort for 22 years there is no way I am ever going to retrain for anything now after all that! I just "upskill" every now and again - thats enough!

James, I am a kindy/ECE teacher and it is the BEST!  I have always studied part-time and worked and there are so many colleges now that offer correspondence, or online learning, or going to classes one day a week. I currently have the Diploma of teaching, but am thinking of studying towards the Bachelor in the next couple of years. Good luck!
PS...which college etc would you be looking to study through?

Lazy bum Mum here too!
I'm so envious of all of you who know what you want to do and are going for it! I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home for now but I know I don't want to do it forever and I have no idea and no confidence about what I want to do once the kids are school age!

No more study here ever either, I'd rather walk on broken glass. For me it was always a means to an end, and now I've got the end I don't need the means anymore!
I really admire those of you who are in training/study with kids, having been there myself it's really tough, you guys are an inspiration.
