Ds loves it but then again he loves everything at first. He quickly habituates to new routines, and tires of them very quickly as well. So, it's definitely a risk, both financially for us and personally for ds.
I couldn't have said it better. I've noticed the same thing with DS3. I wonder if this is more pronounced with gifted kids and/or common with all children.
I also feel like we've invested so much time, energy, and money into homeschooling; I hate to stop before we've given it a good chance. At this point, we're still getting the hang of everything. What if we end up loving hs just as much as the Montessori school?! Ahhhh! I just want to do the right thing for ds. Decisions, decisions. At least we have options, right?
You're a good mom. I sympathize with your concerns. I think your "mom gut" will lead you to the right decision for now. B/c you're so invested in making the right decision for your child, it (mom gut) will also lead you to make any changes as they become necessary. I think it's good that you're contemplating pros/cons now. Maybe you can give yourself some time afterwards to not think about it at all before making a decision. I'm not sure when you have to commit to a decision.
