Advice needed
Hi all! I’m a stay at home mama to three littles ages 6.5, 4, and 22 months. We homeschooled our daughter for kindergarten this year. I’m gonna be honest, it was a freaking struggle. Between my 22 month and 4 year old, there is constant interruptions and noise.
Selfishly, I know that if I send my oldest and my middle to school this coming school year, I’ll have a lot more time for myself and for other mom tasks. Right now I feel spread thin and I hold so many positions (mama, teacher, house cleaner, etc..).
In my heart, I know that I want to protect my kids from this cruel world we live in. I can’t shelter them for forever but I can maintain their innocence for as long as possible. I’m scared for anything bad to happen to them. (Can you tell I have anxiety?) I feel like I just need to suck it the heck up and continue on with homeschooling but part of me longs for a much needed break.
I’m not a fun mom. I try my best to be but I’m so overwhelmed at the end of the day and I literally shut down. Between cleaning, cooking, teaching, taking care of the kids, I don’t have time nor the desire to do fun activities. I’m in constant state of arguing with my kids to clean up after themselves and I’m so dang tired of it.
I need to vent and I need advice.
