lone parents

I'm getting quite stressed about this whole situation and loosing sleep, I have a 1 year old and she currently goes to nursery Mon to Friday I'm looking at doing a degree in youth justice with open university, my issue is I work full time and I don't know if I could work and do ou and get decent degree but can't afford to have no income and I would be distracted trying to occupy my daughter and study if she was home when I was studying, does anyone else have this and how did you get around it x
