Tiramisu Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I wanted to share my experience of getting a glimpse at the light at the end of the homeschooling tunnel and wondered if anyone else has one to share. This morning dd15 was in the shower before I was even out of bed. Then she emptied the dishwasher without being asked and took the milk container out to the recycling bin in the garage. There is hope! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Sigh.....no, no end of this dark, dark tunnel here.

stephanier.1765 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Funny that you posted this because I just finished blogging something similar about how I am NOT even close. :D Congrats to both you and your daughter for getting close to the goal.

FaithManor Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 DD 19, our homeschool graduate, was lecturing her brothers the other day on the importance of doing their work willingly and without complaint! She then offered to sit with ds13 while he did his algebra as she was done studying for her cardiology/pulmonology exam. It's a nice feeling...that's for certain. I didn't take her up on it though because she and ds are kind of "oil and water"...someone would end up wounded or dead! LOL Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 We haven't even officially entered the tunnel yet so the light at the end is a long, long, long, long way away. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 We haven't even officially entered the tunnel yet so the light at the end is a long, long, long, long way away. ;) :iagree: I'm glad to see someone has found light, though!

Barry Goldwater Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I wanted to share my experience of getting a glimpse at the light at the end of the homeschooling tunnel and wondered if anyone else has one to share.

There is hope! :) Excellent! Yes, here we got going full-bore this week, after a 3 week 'ramp-up,' and DD14 and DD12 were up b4 6:00am (usually my alone time for bible reading), walking the dogs, and cracking open their Latin and 'Traditional Logic.' DD12 was slightly perturbed (so cute!) because DW hadn't finalized the math lesson requirement in her weekly planner on Sunday night! So thankful for DCs that love to learn... but I must say that that light at the end of the tunnel makes me melancholy...don't want it to come too soon!

G5052 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Mine can work for hours without me hovering, and mostly do their chores without asking. It's taken years and years of training to get to this point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
