Most homeschoolers are either in a perpetual 'everything is ducky' glow, or they give up and send the kids to public school.
I don't think things are just ducky, and I am not giving up. But it is hard. Make that Hard, with a capital H. No better make that HARD All capital. Maybe even REALLY HARD.
But I also don't see much choice. It is kinda like saying parenting is hard. It is REALLY HARD. And some days it REALLY SUCKS. But it isn't like most parents really would consider giving the kids up. OK I did just post of facebook asking if anyone wanted 4 children (keeping the baby), but I wasn't serious.
Least I don't think I was serious?
Right, no of course I wont give my children up. I love them all dearly, imperfections, and quirks. I could do with a few less quirks and imperfections today, but I won't be giving up my job. Not the parenting one, not the education one, and not...no wait I do give up the cleaning one. Not sure who cleans around here or when they plan on starting, but it apparently isn't me today! (how about cooking...does nuking some veggies count?)
Most things worth doing have an element of hard.
