The Familyman
I was about to start this article with this statement: “You need a homeschool support group.” Then I thought, who am I to tell YOU what you need. You know what you need better than I do.
Actually, I was just talking to my wise wife last weekend about this exact subject. She explained to me that there are different seasons in every homeschooling mom’s life. It ebbs and flows to where she needs different things, different years. Some years she needs a support group for fellowship, some years her kids need more activities, and other years she just feels too busy to add another thing. And that’s OK.”
Man, she’s smart. She’s right too. So here’s my advice. If you need a support group, find one. And if you don’t, don’t let people ‘guilt’ you into joining one.
NOTE TO DADS – Your wife may not need a support group, but she does need support. In fact, she needs your support. She needs you to take ownership of your homeschool, believe in it, and then cheer her on. Don’t know how to do that? Figure it out! And, buy my book Help! I’m Married to a Homeschool Mom and I’ll help you.
You ‘da dad!!!!
Be Real,
Todd

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”
