Emba program (T15) with an infant and school age child, while working a long term grueling project. Anyone done it? Am I going to die? Postpone till the infant is at least 1yr? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

From what I have seen, it depends entirely on the amount of support you will have.

It's hard enough with work and classes and hw and networking events. You'll need someone or multiple people who can help with the other things. Childcare, food, household chores, etc.

And be prepared to have basically no downtime.

What do you hope to gain from an Emba that you can’t accomplish by being a high performer on your project?

Lol degrees are fun

If you are mama don’t do it. If you are dada maybe it’s ok

Huge thumbs down since OP didn't mention pregnancy or even breast feeding. There's no reason a father should be able to go to school in this situation if the mother cannot.

Can you get external help? If not, given COVID, do it after COVID

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.
