What a Great article :) I learned the hard way that you can not do everything..... I think that anyone can Home-school whether they are a SAHM or a working mom.... For instantce for us..To save "time" I do house hold shopping only on 1 day a week....Stocking up is key & freezing meals;) I also try not to stress to much about the house..As long as my kitchen,bathrooms and floors are clean ,To me thats what I care about....If there are toys all over the house O'well. One thing that had me sooo Over whelmed was the home school curriculum..I felt when I started that I had to buy alot,like if my house didnt feel like a school room then I was doing something wrong..... After about 2 yrs of pure STRESSS!!! I knew I had to let the "idea" go..so another way to save time is doing a Online Program,There are quite a few out there. When their young yes you still have to be a lil bit more hands on but my daughter who is 8 ..is 100 % self sufficiant 99% of time...which frees up time for me to help the younger ones or clean my bathrooms ;) The truth is yes being a working mom does make it a bit harder..and you do have less time to work with,But if your careful and know how to cut corners you can do just as good if not better then a SAHM can :) Keri A working Home-schoolin MOM!!! I so agree!!! What a Great article :)
