you tell your kids to take a shower and they ask “where are we going?” or “who is coming over?” 🤦🏽♀️
as soon as your husband gets home from work you’re at the door ready to go work your gig job.
you start getting dizzy after the 1000th daily question from your kids. 😵💫
you schedule calls with family and friends for adult conversation.
your restroom breaks turn into a secret getaway. 👀
you do math all Summer long due to backed up work from procrastinating throughout the school year.
your snack pantry is constantly empty and in need of refilling. 🫢
your alarm clock is set to a different time every night depending on how much work needs to get done the next day.
you count going to the grocery store as a field trip. 😂
it takes you awhile to remember what grade each of your kids are in when someone asks.
every time you’re out and about and someone asks your kids why they aren’t in school you laugh. 😄
the superintendent is your husband.
you record recess time for physical education hours. 🤭
your kids look at you for reassurance before answering the question “what grade are you in?”
Any of you homeschooling parents relate to any of these?
I got to thinking the other day about how different our daily life is from those who attend public school. It literally had me cracking up thinking about how we do things. 😆
These particular things are what I gathered from our household but I’m sure many of you get these and understand why they are funny.
That first one is true. Unfortunately I have to tell or remind my boys to take a shower (I don’t know why little boys are okay with not being clean lol). When I persist and firmly make them get in there they know we have an outing or someone is coming over that day. 😅
And yes, I seriously make my restroom ”breaks” last a lot longer than they should. It’s a mental downtime for me and I make no apologies for it. 😝
It takes work to remember and name each grade my kids are in every time someone asks. Heck it’s a struggle remembering their ages at this point in life. 🤷🏽♀️
Hey, we don’t have all the extra finances to get our kids in sports right now so every minute spent outdoors is exercise. Why not count it for physical fitness? 😌
Lastly, any outing away from the house is a field trip in my book. 😜
I hope you enjoyed these funnies.
Homeschooling is challenging, tiresome and many times stressful but till this day I don’t regret the decision to educate our children at home. It has strengthened my entire family and we are constantly growing and learning from this journey.
Take breaks when you can (whether it’s a restroom break or a real break from school 🤣) because when you’re refreshed you’re at your best. 💖
Can you think of any more funnies to add? If so place them in the comments, I’d love to hear them.
