How would having your DS1 at home full-time affect your DS2?
It will make things a lot harder on me because I'll get no break (I love those 3 hours of quiet when DS5.3 is at school! lol) ... but for DS3.5 it will be actually BETTER if the older one is home all day. The younger one doesn't handle well going from loud house to quiet house and back to extremely loud house when DS comes home from school and has a serious urge to talk nonstop because he had to be quiet at school. The whole house atmosphere is a lot better when things and noise are at a constant level
Plus now that DS is in Kindergarten we can't go out anymore on any trips ... gyms, play areas, museums or anything like that because there's no time during the school days and we can't go on weekends because then it's too crowded and DS3.5 can't deal with the crowds. So homeschooling will give us all that freedom we had back!
