The young father had aushäusig earn full time money for rent, clothes, food. I won a scholarship that allowed me to once a week to pay for a few hours an older lady who takes care for my sons while I was writing. Otherwise, I used the nights and mornings when the one asleep and the other in the crèche was. My older son was born prematurely and needed at the beginning of his life an elaborate gymnastic therapy. The younger one was sleeping in the first nine months, never longer than two hours at a time. He had only to my body calm down. The worst thing in those years, I remember, was the sleep deprivation.

Three years it took to complete the doctorate. Incidentally, I began a clerkship, and laid a little later the second state exam. I cried a lot in those years, too much laughter. Every day and thought: I can not do it. I was an overworked wife. I made many mistakes, 'm insufferable, hectic, hysterical been.

When I read Guttenberg excuses, I need to puke.
