Second child

I'm 20 weeks pregnant, Im going to school to get my G.E.D. and I work, I told my boyfriend that I wanted to go to college for four programs and he got upset. He said he doesn't want me to go to school because he will be stuck at home with the kids. My oldest is 4. Am I wrong? He is making me feel bad.

Does he not work too?  If you go to college,  does that leave him with no ability to work if he wants?  

Can you find low cost day care that would make going to college less an impact on him?

I'm so sorry): that doesn't sound fair to you at all. It's a hard decision to decide to leave, but if you're not happy and feel tour being controlled it would be best to do it before the baby rather than after. I'm so sorry you're going through this, I imagine it takes its toll on you. But you sound very strong and extremely motivated! That's so great! So you need to do whatever it takes to do your best and don't let anybody hold you back because then you'll get nowhere in life. I hope you do what you feel is the right decision and you are able to accomplish everything your heart is set to do♡

Oh gee, no man that loves you and wants the best for you will try to stop you from going to school, getting an education and having a good future for you and your kids. On another note he should not try to control the way you dress or the fact that you may want to looks nice for yourself or him, you're not his 10yr old daughter so he shouldn't try to tell you if you can or can't wear make up, that's ridiculous! Whatever you choose to do I hope you choose the right path for you and your babies. Go after your dreams!

I feel sometimes he try to control me, he doesn't like me dressing nice or wearing makeup. I got to do what he agrees to.  I'm thinking of leaving soon, before the baby gets here.

That's a hard situation. In my opinion you're not wrong, it's important to get your education because you have the motivation and means to do it right now but if you wait who knows, maybe you'll miss your chance. Do what you want to do and he will have to support you, don't feel bad for wanting success!
