I wish I could say it gets easier - my son is 14. They still argue and say they don't want to go to school. There are so many more interesting and exciting things to do at home! <br /><br />Hang in there Kim.

I often wish that I could unschool but I have the next best thing, which is a school that is 60 seconds from my house! The whole waking up and dragging my child out of the house would put me in a foul mood for the day.

I will say this, the mornings are always a bit hellish--especially when homework and sports equipment enter the picture but life does get easier when they are in school for a full day. Maybe you will be there next year with both your girls. Of course I am a little sad about thenm all getting older but I have to say those 7 kidless hours when they are at school can be quite restorative and productive. <br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
