Coping with a phd and your family can get difficult. I had a similar situation. I had to take care of my husband and kid at the same time was enrolled for a phd. The situation was depressing but luckily my mom moved to our temporary home. I resorted to late night studies. Other time I used to spend time with my family, except of course, the class hours. Now I have successfully completed my Phd and now I have cleared all the mess and moved my books and study materials to my self storage unit in Toronto. Thanks to Jiffy storage for taking care of my storage needs! Noe I have donated some of my books to a nearby library, kept some for future reference purposes.
