Why can't we stop moving!

We have moved every year since I started teaching the kids.  As much as I think this is funny...it is not so much!!  IYKWIM?  I am frustrated that they don't know as much as I wouldv'e liked them to.  But then again...I have relaxed a little knowing that this is what God must want.., slow paced.  I didn't want to really start anything really rigorous until age 9.  In the better late than early catagory.  I feel really pressured by the family..(I come from a long line of PS teachers that have the mentality that only PS can do.)  At times I feel really scrutinized and threatened that they will do something behind my back b/c I am not where they think my children shouold be.  They are already frowning b/c my 8 year old son doesn't know how to read.  I know that he has some major issues.  He has a lot of SI issues, some of which we overcame!  I know that he has dislexia or like problems and also other times I see  that it is the SI where it is in there, but it frustrates him that he can't get it out!  I am going to have my SIL tutor him...she used to be a private tutor before her kids...and she has helped practically all the boys in the family anyway...she is fine with me homeschooling and I feel really guinuinly wants to help.  I wish I could say the same thing about my sis!  She took my oldest DD 9 for the summer and now I think she is trying to see what she knows...I hope I am wrong!  She bought her a multipulication chart, which she has done no multipulcation as of yet! ((GASP!!!!))  It would really bother me if she took it upon herself to teach her this w/o asking me first...I wish my sister and I had a better relationship, but I can't have something that is just not there and not recipicated.  Meanwhile, I want my DD to come home!  Not so much as the school stuff, but I just miss her!  :(  She has NEVER been away this long!

sorry that you're going through one of those "blah" periods. We have those all of the time. We've added a baby each year that we've officially homeschooled our oldest. Things have been much slower than I ever imagined.

I also come from a family of teachers, so I understand the frustrations. But God has given those children to you, and you are making good decisions for them, regardless of what someone else may think. Be strong and confident in your choices. You have God on your side!
