Plus there's the weekends, especially if your kids stop feeling a strong distinction between school-learning and life-learning.

Today (Saturday) my daughter went to modern dance, practiced piano with a bit of theory thrown in, wrote four pages of a story, let me read her several picture books about WWII, talked me into playing a game of chess with her, listened to a Spanish picture book, and alternated reading pages of a chapter book with me. And honestly, it has felt like a day of "just lying around the house." (I may make her to a bit of math later.)

Sometimes I think the biggest challenge of homeschooling as a working parent is just finding the childcare coverage.
