Today is the last ‘official’ day of homeschooling for us in the UK. And today the boys and I are choosing to just enjoy the day together.
It’s been a rollercoaster hasn’t it? And you know what? It’s perfectly okay and actually, important, to be able to say that out loud.
None of us have been in a normal situation. Our situations have all been different, but a lot of us have juggled home-schooling with trying to earn a full time living, with parenting, with juggling the extra house work such as cooking and cleaning, we’ve juggled our own emotions and our children’s emotions too. All whilst being in lockdown, with no ability to refuel ourselves or our kids properly with fun days out, or meeting up with friends and family for some social interaction.
