Mommyfaithe Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Does your dh think homeschooling...just sort of happens....you know, it doesn't take time, or planning or oversight? Â After almost 20 years...you would think my dh would understand the time commitment....however.....:glare: Â Does your dh get that when you are researching materials for your kids, or planning, or filing....that maybe you need some TIME and some QUIET. Â Does he get that YOU have to be physically there TO homeschool your kids? Â And not to be sexist....you dads who homeschool....do your wives " get it?" Â Just wondering......and if they do " get it". How on earth did they??? Â Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012  Just wondering......and if they do " get it". How on earth did they???  Faithe  My dh "gets it", but I couldn't say why. Maybe it is because I was a ps teacher before we had kids. He knows that teaching takes planning. He also hears me stress out when we have so many doctor appointments that school begins to suffer.

4everHis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 My dh hears me 'say' it but still doesn't 'get' it. He says, plan some time, take off to go plan. . . but then doesn't get that that requires HIM to be home with the kids so I can go. :glare: Or if I plan a day or two away. . .

********* Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No, I don't think he really gets it. But to be fair, I don't get his job, either.

Cassy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No, I don't think he does get it. Just like he doesn't get that someone has to deal with the socks that get put in the laundry basket, or spend an hour or more getting the evening meal on the table.  Recently DH told me he'd been talking to someone at work about us homeschooling. This person made the observation that homeschooling was more efficient than a B&M school, the same could be learned at home in a couple of hours as took all day at school. DH then looked at me suspiciously, and wanted to know why in that case did it take us all day. He really hadn't thought that although DS4 only does an hour of school a day, DS7 2 or 3 hours and DS10 4 or 5 hours, that meant around 6 hours of my time giving each one individual attention, plus, of course, I also do lunch and clean, as I don't have a cafeteria here or a cleaning lady. Once I'd pointed it out he saw the sense in what I was saying, but had just never really thought it through before. At least now he understands why I'm constantly worn out.  It's hard being a homeschool mom. It's wonderful and amazing too, though.  Best wishes  Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lulu* Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 DH "gets it" most of the time. He is well versed in jobs where a good deal of the work happens off stage and if the unseen work doesn't happen the seen work will not be of quality. It also helps that in my life before kids DH would come and sit with me while I prepped student work for the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yes, mine gets it. We had a friend that started homeschooling the year before we did. After the first year of homeschooling (notice I said after), he confided in me that he was concerned I wouldn't take homeschooling seriously, and only wanted to do so to goof off with my friend. Â He is the first to congratulate me on taking it so seriously. He also would yank the moon down for ds, and only wants him to have more opportunities than we did. Â I equate it to running a business, which is how dh can relate. There's a lot that happens while the door are open, but just as much happens when the "client" is not there. I'll admit he doesn't totally get why I'm researching and planning for fall right now, and he doesn't understand why I make ds do work in the summer. All I have to say now is "You do want him to be smarter than us, right?" and he gets it. Â I have an orientation before school each year. It's just as much for dh as it is for ds. I lay out the books for the year, I explain our goals, blah, blah. I piece together materials for many of our subjects and I show him that. It is kind of a "see, this is what I've been planning for the last umpteen months!" I do think he sometimes thinks I just buy stuff that is ready to go. He's always impressed, or at least acts that way for my benefit. We have other issues, but homeschooling he gets. Â :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knit247 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 My DH, bless his heart, doesn't "get it" at all. I once - in the heat of a "discussion" - threatened to rent an office space and take the kids there every day to school. I figured then he might "get it". But - to be honest and fair, I have never understood 1/10 of his job and believe that he probably deserves more credit from me as well!

Tree House Academy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 My dh actually DOES understand that part of it. What he doesn't understand is that, when math (or something) doesn't work for the kids, one must make a change in the game and try something new. That is part of the joy of homeschooling your kids. Of course, dh went to ps, so he thinks you should pick a curriculum and then stick with it for LIFE. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garddwr Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 He also believes that clean socks and hot meals magically appear... Â Yep, it's the same around here. Laundry is the one household maintenance task my husband helps with, but he honestly believes that by doing one load a week he is doing the majority of the laundry. And he is utterly clueless about the time it takes to plan, prepare, and clean up from 3 meals a day. He also thinks that grocery shopping is a fun hobby for me:lol: I have a plot to help him understand at least some of the time commitment of homeschooling, though: he works a schedule that gives him every other Friday off. In the past we have just made that a day off from school for family activities. I've started holding morning school on those days, though, and inviting him to participate. I realized recently that school is another of those things that he thinks just magically happens with no real work required. To be fair, though, I think it's kind of the way we all think about things that run behind the scenes. I honestly have very little knowledge about what goes into maintaining gas, power, and water supplies for our home, maintaining roads, handling waste and sewage disposal, etc. They're not my job, but I rely on them getting done. There would be a problem though if I refused to pay utilities bills or taxes because I didn't think they were needed--and this is where spouses need to have some understanding because we need support for the work we do too!

Slipper Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 He gets is but sometimes doesn't. Â He understands not to call before 1:00 in the afternoon because I'm busy. (All of my friends know not to call as well). However, if I need something from 'the city' (about an hour away), he doesn't understand why i don't want to throw our daughter in the car and go get it. For me, one messed up day throws off my whole week. I don't want to waste a day of no schooling just to run an errand that he could easily do (he works in the city). Â The first few weeks were hard and took a while to get used to. He has started helping out with a bit of cleaning. Â He also said :) that he knows it was the right thing and that he can tell the difference in our daughter. It's absolutely huge (health issues that have resolved). And she's getting more confident in learning things. It's amazing what has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No. My dh doesn't "get" anything about homeschooling or domestic life. He has no conception of the amount of energy it requires to keep juggling all the balls in the air without letting one crash to the ground. Â I've posted before about my dh's lack of experience in doing anything for himself, which I blame entirely on MIL, who doesn't do a thing for herself, either. Before I married dh, he lived in a condo, ate out for almost every meal, hired people to do any work at the condo, had a cleaning lady who did his laundry and even ran the dishwasher once a week for the few dishes he used at home, had someone else do his taxes, had someone else work on his car, etc. ad infinitum. He still doesn't do much, but I've assigned him some chores around here and he does them grudgingly and poorly, but he at least does them. Â Even at work, he spends most of his time on the phone with clients, other attorneys, and doctors. He also attends hearings, but the actual "work" is done by the secretaries- scheduling, writing letters, sorting the mail, etc. I'm not saying that what he does isn't work, but he just has no clue how long it takes to actually do anything. Â He cannot comprehend the swirl of activity that is going on in my brain at all times. He has no idea of what it takes to get the laundry done, dinner cooked and two kids through school in a day- and that's a light day. Â I sometimes feel bitter and resentful of his ignorance of my stress, but I knew this about him before I married him, and I chose him anyway. :tongue_smilie: It does irk me when he makes a comment about something that he has no business commenting on- like school, or dinner, since he puts no effort at all into the actual business of school or dinner! But, the good outweighs the bad, so I try to remember that when I'm feeling overworked and under appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also does math and science experiments with the girls sometimes (he is almost never home with work and school, so it's not often, but sometimes).

Mimm Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Oh my husband gets it. Maybe he just gets an earful from me about what I'm doing with my day, but he gets it. :) Â One time I was at Walmart during a week day when my husband was home for some reason. He called me up while I was in line about Younger Daughter's WWE assignment. Now everyone here knows how scripted and user friendly WWE is right? Apparently not. She had the correct worksheet, all he had to do was read the story to her, ask her the questions and basically hold her hand to get a couple sentences written down. The amount of explanation required on my part over the phone was alarming. Partly because my husband, being the intelligent and theoretical person that he is, needed to know WHY he was doing every single thing that he was doing. "Because the teacher book SAID SO!" wasn't going to cut it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
