T(\asA&M. They have the unenvi-
lletask of dividing their time and

loosing priorities.

M graduate student and mother
15-year-old boy.
She said her grades often suffer
such conflicts.
"It’s hard to find a balance when
dh the child and school need im-
ediate attention,” she said,
ou’ve got responsibility to both
rids.”
Because she is a single parent,
rsrud’s situation is more difficult

“If the dishes sit out for four days
straight and we run out, it doesn’t
bother me,” Pappas said. “I don’t
feel guilty about having a messy
house. We just wait and clean it up
on the weekends.”
As a young mother of three
put it, “If I had to worry about keep
ing a clean house I’d go crazy. We
pick up the big pieces but leave the
rest.”
Raising young children also re
stricts a mother s participation in
outside school activities. Before
going to a Midnight Yell Practice,
Town Hall concert, club meeting,
political speech, basketball game or
movie, the mother must first find a
babysitter. And babysitters cost
money, which causes most of the
entertainment to center around
quiet evenings at home and Home
Box Office movies on television.

Surprisingly, many mothers said

“1 feel like if I did anything less

ant want to let them down.”
Finding a quiet time and place to

lothers must wait until after their

in get any serious studying done.
