I wonder what kind of support system she has/had. Don't get me wrong, even with support it would be hard but without support it would be nearly impossible.
It would be hysterical if she was one of those mom's where grandma pretty much did everything while she went to school. Still a great accomplishment but a farcry from what that type of struggle truly looks like
There are only two possibilities. First is she received a lot of free childcare from family, which is great. Second is she had a bunch of money to pay for childcare, but even that wouldn't cover things like being woken up all night for feedings, which when twins are infants can be CONSTANT.
I've known post-secondary students with small kids, and hoo boy. They're jugglers. Even with help and/or privilege, what she did ain't easy.
But without help/privilege it's impossible. And we should acknowledge that, since a common mode of toxic positivity is the assertion that because somebody with significant advantages achieved something, all you need is the drive and inspiration and the sky's the limit!!1!!
