Homeschooling: It’s part parenting, parting schooling, and pure craziness at times. Homeschooling is all-consuming. Homeschool moms are the moms and the teacher. Their job is 24/7. And as for rest . . . what’s that?
I had a chance to write the novelization of the movie Moms’ Night Out. Working on this project made me realize that more than anyone, homeschooling moms need a night out.
Here are the top 10 reasons why homeschool moms need a break!
10. To have a parent/teacher conference . . . in peace.
9. To dress like an adult again (i.e. no yoga pants or jeans allowed!).
8. To reconnect with friends and talk about things other than curriculum choices/challenges.
7. To connect with other moms (from all walks of life) and realize you’re not the only one on this challenging parenting journey.
6. Uninterrupted conversation (unless you count the wait staff as an interruption . . . which we don’t!).
