Homeschooling on the days where you really just don’t want to…

Pushing through, simplifying and holding the vision.

I’ve written before about homeschooling when the children just don’t want to. But what about the days when it’s us, the grown ups? What about the weeks that feel hectic and overwhelming and we can’t think straight? When you just can’t bring yourself to offer another activity or idea?

There are certainly downsides and challenges to the lifestyle we live, travelling full time with no support. Managing the complexity of remote work, health struggles, sibling squabbles, finances, housework and all the rest. I’m sure it’s very similar for mostly everyone with a few tweaks here and there for particular circumstances.
