Lizzie in Ma Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Youngest just got on a bus for her first day of high school at a great Tech school. Yesterday, she started training for her 2nd job she calls "my dream minimum wage job" at a local spice shop. She is still working as a chamber maid til November 1st as well. It was her first summer job ever. 19 years of homeschooling and all of a sudden, I'm done. Never thought this is where we'd be, but it is her time to fly, to have something hers alone, and I am so excited for her, but it's bittersweet. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 You made it! Give yourself time to adjust, that's a big switch in both time and identity. Congratulations to both your girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It happened to me last year too, and bittersweet is really the word. At least I had a year where I had dd doing TPS to get used to not being in complete control of her education, so I was sort of weaned away from my identity as a home school mom. But for sixteen years I was a home school mom, and a decent one too. It was the thing I did that was making the world a better place, lol, so now I feed people and make their lives better (I hope), but it's not the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
