"Wonderful, glowing, parents who talk about the joys homeschooling": False.
"I just feel like crying sometimes.": True
"Such a fierce mind": Really, seriously, totally true.
We don't homeschool, so I can only extrapolate from vacations and summer. But dear god we are so wiped out so much of the time. Lady - I don't know how you do it. But I can tell you I'll bet anything it's worth it. Because, don't forget the anxiety you felt every day, all day, when your child was in school. Perpetually waiting for tears, anger, frustration. And that was just from the teacher!!
I don't mean to be flip. You are doing such an amazing thing for your child. And nobody can understand just how amazing it is until they've grabbed one of these little tigers by the tail. Nobody. Seriously. You are awesome.
