Don't feel so bad!!!

 

I know we all as homeschool moms are always judging ourselves too much! We should give us some grace. Homeschooling our kids is a big decision. We want to do it and to do it well and having that goal in mind makes us feel not so confident in our job when we have some difficulties while teaching, or while organizing our homes. cooking, helping them also have fun... all those thoughts make us feel sometimes like failure. 

Let me tell you....LOVE YOURSELF MORE AND HAVE SOME COMPASSION for yourself. I know some of us work part time, some of us work FULL time while homeschooling, other do it full time but waking up so early so you have time to homeschool. Some don't work, like me, and have to live a frugal life in order to make one salary be enough for all the need of the family. Some of us have more kids which makes homeschooling even hard to manage perfectly or as desired. Some of us care for our elderly parents too! So, let me invite you to do a few things:

1.  Don't compare yourself, to others not even compare your day yesterday to today. There will be somedays that everything might seem so hard that will make you feel like throwing the towel. Don't stress days only have 245 hours, tomorrow you will have a new one!!    

                2.  It's not a race or competition, So many of us not only as homeschool moms but  moms in general are trying to (without noticing sometimes) race. We have to take time to enjoy our journey. Days can be so overwhelming sometimes that if we don't stop to see, for real observe our lives, family, we would be missing a lot. 

                3. It's ok to have one day your house clean, your school room/space tidy and it's ok for some days to have it so messy. the world will not end for that. you won't die because of that, I promise you, so my advice in that regard is to breath and do what is more important. Some days for me is just picking what I want to accomplish that day. 

Lets try to be nicer and love us and our job as homeschool moms more as our kids do!! Want to see my video about that topic?? Click the link!!
