Since when is it so wrong and being criticized for "not spending quality time" with my 4 year old? I work full time AND go to school part time AND starting my own business AND am a mother and a wife. I might not spend all the time i would want with my son but all I'm doing now is for his future and people just seem to put me down for that! Is it so wrong?

You are doing an amazing and a powerful thing. Honestly, the only reason why people probably criticize you is because they are intimidated. School, work, being a mom, being a wife, etc. are all hard enough as their own separate things. None of them have to be exclusive from the other. Be proud of yourself. The only people you should listen to are yourself, your son, and your husband. (Maybe your parents because they are always full of excellent advice, but it should be kept just as that).
