"I second the idea of asking your mom to help you! My mom helped me almost until her last illness and death. She was such an asset to our homeschool and my kids have so many wonderful memories of her.
That said, you know YOU…"
Mary Brazeau replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."I read a great book once-- Denise Schoelfield's Happily Organized Family. She had a fabulous idea: All week every time you get frustrated stop and ask why. Why is this brush so hard to find? Why does everyone more this here? Why don't I…"
Stephanie Martin replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."Hi Mary...There's so many contributing factors to the stress in the home, I wouldn't even know where to begin lol. It's basically all my problem. I don't have a lot of patience and have a hard time controlling the kids. I need to…"
Stephanie Martin replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."Thank you for all of the wonderful advice, Grace. I have decided to stick with homeschooling after all. It seems overwhelming, but I know I can get through with God's help. By the way, I commend you on having 12 children! I have four and I feel…"
Mary Bennett replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."I'm reading your post, and I'm noticing that only two of your children have to be homeschooled right now. You probably have the 11 yo schedule down and working, so it's just the 7yo you have to figure out and for her, I would stick to…"
"Stephanie,
I would have to echo agreement with what others have said. Nothing is set in concrete. I have twelve children, all have gone to Catholic schools through high school. Seven have graduated from college, two currently have doctorates, and a…"
Stephanie Martin replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."Thank you, Kristen. :) That all makes a lot of sense. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but I definitely realize I have to make the decision for myself. I'm sick right now with the stomach flu, so decision making has been put on hold…"
Kristen H replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."Deep breath, in and out. Pray. I had a friend who recently stopped homeschooling because it was so stressful and while she followed a program, and everything was getting done, no one in her family was happy. She was also worried about poor…"
Stephanie Martin replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."Hi Mary,
Thank you for your response. :) Unfortunately, my mom doesn't live near us (about an hour away), and she is busy homeschooling. She also has temporary work, so it would be impossible for her to help out that way. I don't drive,…"
Mary Brazeau replied to Stephanie Martin's discussion To Homeschool or not to homeschool...."It would be a great idea to ask your mom what she might be willing to do to help you. Would she take a child for a special day with gramma once a week? Would she pay for music lessons? Would she stay for an hour a day so you can take a walk and…"

Hello everyone, I'm new to this web site, but it seems like a wonderful place for Catholic families to share ideas and advice. :) I have a complicated question, and I know I am the only one who can make this decision, but I was hoping I could get some input or any helpful advice regarding this situation.We have 4 girls ages 11, 7, 5 & 4. Our oldest is 11 and HAS to be Homeschooled due to emotional problems. I think Homeschooling is wonderful, but things are pretty stressful here at home,…See More
