Assalam u Alaykum | Peace
I started this blog back in 2016 when I first embarked on my
homeschooling journey, hoping that I would document my struggles and musing but
I never got around doing so. My homeschooling journey had its ups and down,
days of despair and those of joy, many days we did no ‘schooling’ and others
when we completed our entire to-do list. There has been so much to learn and so
much to enjoy that I am so eager to continue on this path I chose.
In these past years, I went from being the homeschooling
Ami-Ji of two bright boys to the Overwhelmed-Ami-Ji of two more blessings in
just overnight. Literally. Overcoming this huge blow was very difficult and
during this phase of adjusting to the changes in our lives, I gave up.
I gave up homeschooling.
Yes that true. While adjusting to the post-partum
difficulties with the boys who had suddenly become more rowdy, rude and
undisciplined, I started to feel that I had done it all wrong. If such unruly
kids are the product of homeschool then I shouldn’t continue this. I was
extremely unhappy with my decision but that seemed to be the right answer then.
