[QUOTE="navineja, post: 236942, member: 4278"] I am there with you, Davey327. I homeschool my twins, and while in the big picture it is better than things were in public school, there is still no "me time". And when they are both having issues (again, better than when they were 5, but still no picnic), it just seems like it will never end. I really can't offer any advice right now, just true empathy. Been there, done that, still there, still doing that! When I just feel like throwing my hands up and calling biomom to come and get them (or putting them on a plane back), I remember something that their therapist told me once. "Do you want to do the easy thing or the right thing?" Simple words, but it really helps me to get thru the rough times when I think about how truly right it is to protect such precious little ones from the things that they could be continuing to suffer if we did not take them in and love them. (I know that "precious" is not the word most of us would use to describe most of their behaviors, but we would also agree that they do have their moments!) I know that so many things can increase the stress and that when that happens, even the little issues that the kids have seem huge but hang in there. We are all with you! [/QUOTE]
