    Homeschooled the middle ds at the end of last school year and it was easy. He's loves to learn and do work on his own. The closer we get to starting the new school year and homeschooling all three boys the more nervous I get. Today as I was putting all the books and supplies on the shelves I started thinking Can I really do this. My main concern is my ds in Kindergarten. I don't know why. I worry I will not be able to teach him to read even though I was the one who taught the other three to read before they were 4. I think what if they don't want to learn or what if they just drive me a little nuts. Okay I know they will not but it could happen. Rationally I know I can do this I'm just starting to think of all the What if things that could go wrong. I remember thinking this years ago when I hsed my dd and oldest son. Worse case it goes all wrong and they go back to ps.

    I totally get it :)

    My DS, 7,started halfway into the first term this last year. And I started with my DD out of JK at the end of the year. One big thing I have noticed is now teaching I have to divide my attention a lot more. However I coached my son so he was more prepared to do his own work. And thankfully he is doing pretty good. I too have to teach my DD, 5, to read and she is struggling. My son grabbed onto books like a fish in water. So I get where you are. You can and I can and we will :lol:
