From the mouths of babes
So first thing this morning my little one says to me, "Daddy, when do you take your test?"
What test? I ask him.
"The one you are on the computer studying for," he says.
Oh, it's not a test, it's a program. I'll be studying for three years.
A very long face, then: "Oh....I guess it will be a long time before we can do anything together on weekends then."
Maybe school isn't so important after all.

School is important! In the long run, he will remember that you valued school. And yup, it's hard. But, it's important to you and so it will be important and a valuable memory to him.
That's funny.
But school is never as important as the relationships you have with your family.
Even as I stare at my transcript that doesn't look as good as I hoped, I know that having been around to be a big part of raising my baby brother (14 years younger)is far more important than getting better grades.
Good luck in school and elsewhere.
Make sure to take breaks and schedule time with him. You will come back refreshed, and he will remember those times. 3 years is a long time to a little kid.
