That was our intention to homeschool our kids all the way through. I started with preschool, homeschooling my daughter, niece, and a good froend’s daughter who is the same age as them. It went very well and I was able to give them exelerated learning while making sure they could still be kids. We decided that once kindergarten began, I would only be schooling my own daughter so I stopped teaching and watching the other kids. However, sometime while I was homeschooling the three of them (and caring for 2 toddlers), I became very, very manic. My behavior was completely absurd. Everything from reading the Bible and praying numerous times a day to calling my friends husband and asking him if he was parked on the street in front of my house watching me care for his child. And that was before I became psychotic. The problem was, I had been so well for so long, and my husband had never known anything other than his VERY sane and together wife. I was the epitome of boring and together. Then boom, I’m super Christian, super mom, super wife, super citizen. Anyway the whole point of this story is this: that episode of mania, the longest in my life, lasted at least 6 months and when I crashed, I crashed hard. It was then the worst and turned into the longest depression I have ever had. I’m embarrassed to say that just a few months into teaching my daughter kindergarten, I became bed, well actually “couch” ridden and what little she learned was almost always from the couch and often through tears. Thank God she is a naturally very intelligent child and caught up in the blink of an eye, but I will tell you it was horrible. That’s just my experience though. It didn’t work for us then and we have no plans to try it again. That said, if all of the options were too bleak, I wouldn’t be totally opposed to trying again, or maybe even paying someone close to me to do it.
