Hi All, I just wanted to thank you all for the great advice, support and information you have given me over the last few years!!!! :angel: The time has come for our family to end our homeschooling journey. My son will be attending the same public school as his sister next fall (actually for summer school as well). With my husband's job more than likely ending next month (we've heard that for 18 months now though) and my marriage falling apart, I've been at my wit's end. My son has been the one that has taken the hit (educationally speaking-not literally). I need to do what I feel is in the best interest of my son and for me. I might be looking for a part time job soon and I need to focus on that and my health (mental and physical). Who knows maybe some day we will return to homeschooling. It's nice to know that there is that option. Thank you all once again!!!
WIM I will keep you in prayer as you start your new journey in ps and part time job hunting! I hope things get better for you!
You know that, as much as we feel HS'ing is the GREATEST, we believe first and foremost that YOU need to do what's best for YOUR FAMILY. And right now, with everything that's happening, that simply isn't hs'ing. Do what you have to do, and know that you can send him to ps and still be welcome here at the Spot!
You have to do what is best for your family, just remember we are here for you if you need to talk. You are welcome to stay and chat with us. I wish you luck on job hunting and repairing your marriage. Everything will work out. Keep your head high and stay well.
I don't know you well, but have been praying for you and your family. It sounds like you're making a wise decision. I hope you'll stick around here and still chat it up with us. Friends make rough times that much more bearable. hugs!
Hope all goes well with your new path. I agree with the other ladies...you do what works for you and your family, that is always the RIGHT decision. Prayer for you and your family.
I didn't read through the other posts but I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. Everyone has to do what is best for their own family and only you know what that is. I truly hope things get better for you.
WImom, Don't think that you can't come "hang out" just because you are not "actively" homeschooling. Blessings on you and your family.
Oh sweetie, I am so sorry! Continue to hang out with us if you are up to it. We are always good at listening, giving advise when asked and just being there. (((( ))))
Making the decision to send one back is not an easy thing.. I know! I'm sure he will do just fine though. It was really a sense of relief when I sent Garrett back (even though I still kind of regret it). Wishing you all the best ((hugs))
tough times call for good friends. we will be praying for you and your son as he makes the adjustment. please let us know how it is going.
Do what is best for your family. That is the right thing. Struggling to keep up home schooling when your family's needs are elsewhere will not be profitable. Family first. your son will be fine. Now, this does not mean you can't come back and chat here. I know if my kids went to school, I would still pop back in.
I hope you continue to come to the Spot regularly. We'd sure miss you. My kids have done hs and ps depending on our life events and what worked for us at the time. We all share the same heart here--we all love our kids enough to do whatever it is that they need us to do for them. Still thinking of you often. (((hugs)))
