My wife and i had 7 kids before she passed away 4 years ago. They are now (boys)13, 12, 8, and 5; (girls) 9, and twin 6 yo's. It took a while for us to get a schedule down but now things are running smoothly. During the school year, i work 9-5 at my office (i'm in buisness for myself), and i arranged for my 23 yo neighbor to be there at 3 for when the 5 youngest got home. she was there for 2 1/2 hours until i got home. during the summer, i am working from home, and when i go out, or schedule an appt. then Carrie comes over for the kids. This has been working out great for us until my oldest son came and said "dad, middle school was bad enough, please don't make me go to high school". and now all of them want to be homeschooled. i understand where they are coming from, and i put up with a lot of c**p in public school that i don't want my kids to go through. but there is no possible way that i can homeschool all 7 of them, plus continue to run my buisness. how do i break it to them?
