Pre-K and 1st grade....where does the time go?
I'm beginning to question if we made the right choice to homeschool. There are so many reasons we do it, but now I'm starting to wonder if he needs to be in school every day. Mainly because we've had more bad days than good days with it this last week. Also, I wish he had more things to do at home than just play video games. I do try to limit the video games but it's so easy sometimes to just let him play so I can get some things done around the house. Bad mom....I know. Lessons take anywhere between 2-3 hours (that's with several breaks) so that leaves A LOT of time in the day left. He's not interested in playing outside (which I don't blame him in the Texas heat). So trying to keep him busy and away from the video games is draining me.
I'm going to check into several homeschool "meet up" groups that have boys his age. Next Tuesday while he's in school (my only day to have some time to do some major research on these groups) hopefully I'll have found some groups to check out. Hopefully finding support from other moms who have boys Ben's age will help lift my spirits and get him out of the house and away from the video games!!!!!!!!
