I finished a PhD while working full time with 3 young kids. Feel free to reach out if you've been interested and I can share my experience with you.

How did you keep the motivation up?

(I tried doing a PhD while working full time, and quit the idea after 3 years.)

Interesting. A couple of questions: - How young are the kids? - How do they behave, especially with essentials like eating and sleeping habits? - Could you carve out a morning and/or evening routine for yourself? - How much outside help could you rely on (grandparents nearby, lovely neighbours...)?
