The Inherent Conflict

I think I understand why many people who practice “attachment parenting” and related styles of life often unschool.

It’s simply that you feel unbelievably torn between your children when you’re attempting to do actual schoolwork with an older child and not force a younger child into something that you’re uncomfortable doing. Yep.

Things are better than they have been in quite a long time, though, and I have optimism for the future. Which is good, since we’re adding another one in November. I know my mother thinks we’re crazy. Too late now, though!

I think I’ll do a DITL post tomorrow as far as homeschooling goes, anyway. If I’m really ambitious, I’ll take pictures, too.
