I was going to sit down last night and write up the week’s events, talking about some of the repercussions from my last post about embracing collaborative gaming, but I’m glad that I held off because today, in an exasperated state, I told my kids that I quit.
Yes, I quit. Homeschooling, specifically. And yes, I’m being melodramatic, but I suspect many other homeschooling parents will know what I’m talking about. During our newly founded “doing shit together” time (replacing the previous “off screen time”), after the kids had done some writing practice, after we had played a round of Pokemon and the Untitled Goose Game, I invited my kids to come make brownies with me.
I was met with sighs and groans.
