    "I don't like to homeschool my kids." It took me 10 years of homeschooling to admit this to myself. 😂😂😂

    Oh my goodness....you just expressed what I have been feeling. I just really dont LIKE to homeschool my kids. I like to be the fun substitute who teaches the fun stuff and doesnt do the hard stuff. But I want my kids home with me. Thank you for the honesty

    I think most of us homeschooling parents felt this way lol. Nothing went the way we pictured it or wanted it to go and it drove us crazy. I laughed so hard because you explained exactly how my day goes and I felt like I was the only one. Thank you! 😂

    I love this especially the truth you shared. I LOVE my children, but being their teacher is driving me nuts most days and I love having them home with me. But I am finally ready to sign up for online schooling. This just helped me be ok with whatever decision my husband and I come too with The Father's leading.

    I like you, LOVED the idea of a Morning Basket, BUT, I couldnt get past the 50 or more years of waking up unable to do anything but drink coffee for 2 hrs. Moved the basket to the afternoon and now call it Tea Time and its been a hit for our read alouds. Your so right! Try new ways all the time.

But I push forward because I want better for them than what they were getting in the ps system, and I love them. Isn’t that why we all do it?? I’ve been cutting a lotta fat lately and let me tell you it feels good. My morning basket went out the door quickly too 😉 thank you too for the laugh! 😁

    Ya I learned too. I thought it'll be great couple hours at the table doing book work and doing crafts and stuff. That method involves lots of tears. My kiddos definitely prefer the online methods. They thrive with it. It's also easier on me. Nothing wrong with electronics as long as they do other things. I feel the electronic disgust comes from people who don't enjoy them.

      @myersfamilydiaries  3 ปีที่แล้ว
