Im looking to obtain my AU, naturally I've brought this up to my mom, who points out im already overwhelmed in a wfh position with a 1 and 3 yr old. Im feeling my spirits are crushed but I know I could do it! Am I crazy for thinking I can go for this at this stage of my life? Am I being overly ambitious for everything I have on my plate? My thought was I don't want to waste my time getting my career where I want it to be.

Check with your company/manager if you can get some dedicated work time to work on your development. The AU is pretty straight forward, just read the book and at your leisure (in bed on your phone?) do the practice quizzes and take notes on what you need to revisit.

I second the practice quizzes being key. It’s a good into into Commercial Insurance underwriting - which I think is the highest paying job in insurance, other than being a lawyer or in management

Nah girl, you’ve GOT this!! I did my undergrad while my kids were newborns and toddlers, and I’m currently finishing my masters while my kids are on summer break, I’m working from home, and pulling the bulk of the load for running our home. Best advice I have, invest in a WONDERFUL coffee machine, work on it after the kids bedtime, and show everyone you CAN and WILL do it. But most importantly, believe in yourself, because you absolutely can do it.
