  1. I'm in the same situation.  I'm interested in grad school, but I have a 1 year old and one on the way.  I think grad school would only work for me if I could find a part-time Biology program, because we are committed to being with our children as much as possible. 
     

    I'm probably crazy:  do other parents sometimes wish that the presence of children wasn't completely excluded from academia in our culture?  I once attended a week long seminar in a rural Alaskan town (where I lived at the time), and there was a native lady in the back of the classroom holding and bottle feeding a little one.  It was casually excepted as completely normal and good, with some of the other ladies taking turns rocking the child.  I had no children yet, but my heart ached to incorporate my future family into my dreams of a career.

    If it was treated as entirely normal and excepted, do you think you could get your work done with your children around?  I'm pretty sure I could.
