When my husband went back to college to complete his bachelor’s degree, I did more than my fair share of nagging.
Big mistake.
Here’s my biggest advice for those with spouses heading back to college: Let them do it with minimal nagging from you.
That doesn’t mean your spouse doesn’t have your support, your help or your attention. It just means that you need to remember that it’s they, not you, who are a student again. It means they, not you, have to worry about exams, deadlines and homework. They, not you, need to stress about completing assignments the best they can.
Your spouse has made the decision to go back to college. Give them the support and encouragement they need—without adding to the stress!
