I am interested in exploring the values of other homeschool families and comparing them with my own. For us a dismal week is when Dad has to work weekends, Mom lets too many obligations pile up and they fall on the same week; leading to too many distractions and Kiddo just won’t ask for help if she gets stuck on a lesson…and eventually gets frustrated and starts to remind me of the saying about leading horses to water. Once we are all grouchy and harried is about the time the car starts acting funny, the cat gets diarrhea, and the toilet backs up. This is not a regular occurrence, but I think everyone, homeschooled or not can relate. Also, how do you deal with a dismal week? I’d like to learn from veteran parents and homeschoolers.
