My children can be supportive because they are self-sufficient and don't need my continuous attention any more. My husband I believe felt a little threatened but also concerned that I wouldn't have time or that I would get bored of the study and give up. I think he was also concerned that it would rob us of our time together - which it has quite a bit. Working full-time and studying is a huge commitment so I can understand his concern.
