I passed L1 in 07 with a 1 year old daughter. It was very hard because my family missed me a lot and complained - I normally studied after work from 5pm-7pm each day and 8-12am in the weekend. I passed L2 studying totally different. I studied from 4.30-7 am each day for 6 months. In the weekend even more. I slept too little, was stressed and had a lot of discussions with my wife… My 2-year old daughter lost her interest for me and in my freetime she often refused to spend her time with me. My wife got pregnant again and didn’t have much energy. It was very tough! In october we’ll have a son. This year is gonna be hard! I’ll probably study in the evening and the morning. But I need to focus on my family too if I don’t wanna lose the contact… It means: - Less TV - Less sports - Even less time with friends - More problems to solve I don’t complain. I love the challenge!
My first child is due in October, and my wife has been very supportive and still is. Passed 1 and 2 on the first try and planning on 3 in June Already got the L3 books last week, and I am going to put it in high gear for the next 2 months because I am expecting a significant pause with the child coming. Any other suggestions?
Remember to take care of your wife and give her what she needs. Then she’ll keep on being supportive and you’ll be able to study well. Your kid will take some of your time. Don’t panic - enjoy the time together
Our daughter was born on March 19th and it took me at least a month afterwards to regain focus and start studying with the same ferocity these exams dictate. I must have passed because I put in a ton of quality time prior to March, my review work in May was done primarily at the library, and my wife is incredible. You do not have to sacrafice parenthood for a passing grade. Porn on the other hand is a whole different animal.
Dude, no one wants to know that you like animal porn.
