I'm an emotional wreck


Recommended Posts

& I'm just praying I can keep it together over the weekend.

 

 

  • Have had some health issues recently that have really scared me.
  • DS (16 months) is almost completely weaned (which I want) & I know he'll be the last (which I want) but it still breaks my heart.
  • We've decided that homeschooling is probably not the best choice for us going forward. (I'm convinced that this is true but am trying to not be hasty by slipping in the "probably".) I wanted it to be the best thing but it really isn't & I'm quite sad about it.

praying for you.

 

It's hard to let go. When my 10 yr old was born I knew he was my last. Every milestone was like a little stab...very bittersweet, and I think nursing was the worst. Hang in there... it get's better.

 

When my now 19yr old was about 11 or 12 I realized that I could no longer homeschool her. It was very hard to come to terms with it. I felt like a failure. But, putting her in school was the best choice we ever made. Not only did she succeed tremendously but our relationship got SO much better. Yes, I missed her during the day, but I'll never regret that hard decision.

 

So don't think you're a failure because homeschooling isn't working (first off its *very* hard to homeschool with multiple littles under foot) it means you are going to do what is best for your family. That is a beautiful thing.

:grouphug::grouphug: The Lord has a plan for you AND your family, whether it's your health, the size of your family, your children's education, etc.

 

Praying for your heart to be lightened, and for peace and joy as we celebrate the day God came to earth to live among us, to die for us, and to be further glorified.
