![]() Don’t get me wrong-I love homeschooling my 5 boys! I felt that what was missing was an opportunity for me to connect and relate to other homeschoolers. ![]() Last year, I was feeling extremely lonely and depressed about our homeschool. ![]() It’s just not all sunshine and roses-especially when I have felt like I have no one who gets it. I love being at home with my boys and having the opportunity to watch them learn and grow. Please don’t misunderstand! I have stated time and time again that homeschooling is one of the biggest blessings in my life. Homeschooling can feel like no one in your real life understands. When other moms are talking about school-related issues like packing lunches and dealing with bullying issues, you are standing alone and trying to figure out how to help your little one read or memorize math facts. You have your kids’ education in your hands. As a homeschooler, you have taken on a huge responsibility. Questions of “Am I doing enough?” or “Am I forcing too much into our schedule?” creep in and become paralyzing. You feel frozen with what to do and when. When other moms are meeting up for coffee during the day, you are teaching math or doing a read aloud. Even if you are involved in a homeschool co-op or have several homeschooling friends in your area, there are days when you feel quite alone. Please read my disclosure statement for more details.
