where do we go from here?
it was not a good homeschool day. everyone got upset. C and C didnt want to do anything. I got mad because they take the lazy way out of everything. C of course doesnt want to do any writing. he hates writing. but geez in life you will have to write stuff. and I am so not enjoying this. I so wanted a curriculum that would have it all planned out for us. I thought they would be more independent then. but I have to ride them constantly or they do nothing. I dont want to send them to PS, I really dont. But I dont feel like I am doing a very competent job here. its a battle to do anything. The little ones like lapbooks, ethan is starting to write things and sound them out by himself. but how do I get the big kids to give a shit?how do other people do it? what am I doing wrong? I would like to move toward unschooling more but my husband is so not on board with that. Reading is really difficult for C. always has been. I dont know what to do about that either. feeling very inadequate today. at one point I threw the books on the floor and said I QUIT. go to PS if you arent even going to try.

Hi Moondog! Thanks for commenting on my blog. How did you find it? And are you in St. Cloud too?
I ached when I read this. Of course, I did give up and send them to PS. Cait says she likes it, but Clio HATES it. HATES HATES HATES. But they aren't doing what they are supposed to with that even... they "forget" their homework at school, or they say there is nothing to study and then don't do well on the test.
It can be so trying when you know their potential and they just don't even seem interested in trying to reach it, or there are things that they NEED to do but just don't want to be bothered, and you're telling them, you think I like having to do the laundry, the dishes? Guess what! I don't.
