naturally Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 After late bedtimes, a co-sleeping nursing 1 year old, and just plain mental exhaustion, we don't usually get up until around 9:00. That starts most days with a feeling of already being behind. Add in boys who would rather play than do school and we start late. I don't really need advice on changing bedtimes, getting up earlier, etc. I just need to know that we aren't the only homeschooling family that wakes up later and eases into the day.

4everHis Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The beauty of homeschooling is the ability to make time work for you. If you have a nursing one year old you make school fit around rest, for both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Cook Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 You aren't alone! We don't go to bed late and are usually up by 7:30 at the latest, but we still don't start school until 10 or 10:30. Before lunch we do our calendar activities, memory work, some reading aloud and then either history, science or geography. I try to get math and spelling done with my oldest but it doesn't always happen. After lunch we do all the rest. My kids just seem to focus a lot better after they have had most of the morning to play.

EmmaNadine Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Definitely not alone. We usually crawl out of bed around 8:00am, but we take a nice long breakfast to wake up, and my medication needs to kick in before we're up to teaching, so classes usually don't start until around 10:00. This is one of the things I love about homeschooling. Our schedule is made to fit our needs, not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like everyone's waiting on me and school is getting accomplished, and I also don't have to start teaching as soon as my feet hit the floor because I just can't handle that. But they still don't usually start anything until I get up which is not uncommonly 9, and sometimes even 10 on an extra-tired day. :D I decided that I need my sleep and since I have a hard time going to bed early (or sleeping well in general), I am not going to force myself to wake up earlier and make myself more miserable and tired.

Thank you! I'm with you on the bolded. That is very much where I am. So glad its not just us. I think it comes down to this - I don't have many irl friends so I try to connect somehow by reading online - blogs, boards, groups, etc and I see all these other moms who are doing so much more than we are. More schooling - both in quantity and acedemically, more fields trips, more outings, more irl friends. It makes me feel "less than" in all areas. I know I shouldn't compare but it happens. It's just nice to not feel so alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samiam Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We've were like that for years...by the time we actually got going, it was usually 10ish....and completely fine with that. BUT this year, with oldest DS off to public high school and me up by 7am, the youngers wake up shortly after (although I'd prefer if they slept it). We have time to eat, chillax for a bit and still get started by 9a.m. And I'm loving that too! I'm enjoying the somewhat more predictable schedule. So whatever works for you now!

2_girls_mommy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We started school at 11:00 am after Sesame Street for the younger and Little House on the Prairie for older and me through 2nd grade for the older dd. The next year when she was in 3rd and younger was in 1st and we had more outside activities I needed us to start earlier to get all done that I wanted. So during Christmas break of that year I wrote a very detailed schedule for the 2nd semester, including starting and stopping times for each subject and it worked wonders. I now make a schedule and we start by 9:00 (ish) and have for 2.5 years. We are not slave to the schedule, but it helps keep us on track. DD10 cannot function without one. We are very busy w/activities, field trips, scouts, and co-op. But don't be jealous, but I no longer have any nursing babies, though I miss them. I do babysit a toddler now, but I send her home in the evenings, so I sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGHEALTHYMOM Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) This is something I have struggled with so much. When I had 2 children, I worked in a private Christian school, and it was so hard to get there with them before 8 am. I was fully nursing at that time too. Then I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have surgery, and quit my job halfway through the year. Now, I am nursing our 8th child, and realize that we have fluctuated so much... I used to take naps in the afternoon and get up earlier ( by 7), but with a rough year last year due to endometriosis, surgery, a terrible pregnancy, and getting so behind on everything :lol:, and a dh who leaves before we ever think of getting up... plus 2 boys who get up early... I am just sleep deprived, having brunch most days, even if we are up, there is too much to do before we can actually eat or cook. I don't do refined cereals anymore, and even oatmeal, eggs, and toast takes awhile to prepare and serve.

RainySunday Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 DD is only in K, and I thought we were doing great to have me up by 7:30, her up at 8:30, eating breakfast, and starting by 9/9:15...then I got pregnant and morning (all-day, 24/7) sickness began to kick my butt. So...now I sleep until I wake up, which the last couple weeks was mostly 10am, this week starting to creep a bit earlier. I'd like to get us back closer to the schedule we started with, as my ds2 wakes up around 11:30, 11:45, and school goes so much better if he is sleeping and not "helping". With baby due in May, and pregnancy being so rough for now, I have scaled back from our plans to do phonics + math +religion + character study +science +logic, to being glad we are on target to finish math and phonics (which both incorporate handwriting) by the time baby is due. I figure she can watch and rewatch all her magic school bus videos when baby comes and that'll cover K science. Next year is bound to go smoother with a 1st grader, a preschooler and a new baby, right....right? sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We get up at 9, start learning at 10/10:30. Works for us! I used to think we should "improve" and start learning at 9:00, but I'm all over that idea. We just like staying up late. We all tuck in DH at 9:30, then we read stories until 10/10:30, then the DS5 and DD6 go to sleep and DS7 and DD9 read books until 11 or so. We're very happy with our (weird) schedule. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeinfl Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I've battled chronic fatigue for some time and there is no way, no way, that I could be up and ready by 9 a.m., though I do try, but thankfully, after my children have grown a bit, they all get up quite early and start their morning work on their own. (I am more of a nightowl, cooking, cleaning, and organizing later at night) We leave their afternoon work for late afternoon when I am wide awake and can work with them on subjects that I don't like them to do alone... The beauty of homeschooling is that we don't have to follow anyone's timetable, and that we can change right along with the years and the seasons. Right now this is a season for you, but later on it may change to look very different from the way you homeschool now. I promise you that whether you start at 9 or at 11, it won't make a difference in their education. They will still learn...:D Be very blessed! Dee (in Sunny FL!)

They can barely eat because of being tired, and then after school it's homework and dinner, after school activities that go to late and they just don't get enough sleep. No thank you. I know. I sort of feel sorry for some of our ps friends. They really are so tired all the time. And they can't be kids, which is the worst part. My DS is good friends with the neighbor boy, and wants to play with him. He gets off the bus at 4pm, and they used to be able to play a bit a couple of years ago. Now his mom said he can't play after school because he has almost TWO hours of homework (4th grade!!) as well as a couple of activities on certain nights. That makes me so sad. I remember how it was when my DS was in PS, and in first grade he often had an hour of homework. It really was like....off the bus, do homework, eat dinner, bath, bed. I'm so glad I don't have to do that homework fight right after school. Makes no sense to me when they are young, and it is mostly busy work. Anyway, not to derail the thread. :001_huh: Starting late in the morning is fine, and preferable, IMO. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jane Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The only reason mine start that early is because they have extra-curricular in the afternoon/evening.

mamajag Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 You're not the only one. We get up when we get up (but no later than 9), then we have a relaxing breakfast and settle into school. We tried the whole "gotta start by 8" mentality, and it took us forever. We end at the same time starting at 9:30 that we did starting at 8. The kids focus better, I'm actually awake, and in general things go better. I'll even admit to letting my older 2 play games before school. You have a 1 yo. Whenever you can squeeze in sleep, do it!

BrookValley. Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We don't start early, either. I am a night owl and I just don't function 'till at least 9 a.m. Also, I work a full-time job mostly from home, so I need to spend some time in the morning checking email, phoning in to meetings, etc., at the same times folks in the office are doing those things. So we often school right before/around lunch, and then again later in the afternoon after I am "off" of work. Sometimes we finish up in the evening before dinner, and after dinner I often do some more work myself (I am a technical writer, so sometimes evenings are a good time to get some time to myself and get heavy editing done). I think that's one of the huge perks to homeschooling--school can happen anywhere, anytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just let them sleep til they get up. I've noticed the older they are, the later they wake up. Sometimes not til 9. Now, my husband works an odd shift where he doesn't start til 1130 am.

stm4him Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I am not a morning person by nature at all, but because we had planned to start afternoon activities around 1:00 or so I needed to get all my teaching in in the morning and attempted a schedule where I got up at 5:00 and we started at 8:00 with about 2 hours of independent work in the afternoons. And for a few weeks I was doing very well with it, actually, as we tried to finish up last years work after a move to another state. It was easier for me to get up at 5 than 6 or 6:30 it seemed. Then I got pregnant and I had a much harder time to getting up that early. Then after that my son was diagnosed with cancer and everything went haywire for about a month. So now we are back to a regular schedule but I needed to move it up a bit. So now I get up at 6:30 and they get up at 7:00 and we just stay up later now and work long into the afternoon because we do chores in the morning to keep the house safe and decently clean for him and in order in case of emergency. So we don't actually start school until 9:30 and we aren't done completely until 6:30 sometimes or even later if we had some afternoon delay (like when my son is too tired or not feeling well or my daughter has a therapy session for her learning disability). We cut out all of our afternoon activities except for her therapy two days a week and so we don't have to figure that into our day. Next year we'll think about moving things to start earlier if we have the ability to add afternoon sports and/or art and/or music lessons back in but for now things are what they are and I am just thankful for the days when we get most of our work done and my son is alive and well :-) To everything there is a season.....

The seasons have had to do with pregnancy/baby/toddlers or too many activities in the evening that lead to later bedtimes. Eventually we get back to something I can better live with, starting by 8:30 or 9. I know people who consider that late, though! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Darinski Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Oh, my people!! I've finally found you!! :-D You don't know how much good it does my heart to know there are others out there just like me! NONE of us are morning people in this house and I have felt guilty about it for the longest time! Just hearing your stories about later, but productive, start times are SO encouraging! I've nothing against morning people, but I am just not wired that way. We rarely start school before 11 a.m., and are rarely up much before 9:30 a.m. It is reassuring to know that we are doing just fine going with our own flow! Thanks so much to the original poster for starting this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
