I do not homeschool my kids.

I do not home school my kids.

But I do recall a couple years ago when I felt immense shame in this.

There was a mom in a FB group looking for moms who were homeschooling, had more than 3 kids, and making 6+ figures a year.

I was two out of three.

I chimed in my two cents and heard crickets.

I wasn’t good enough.

I struggled for several days with this. Believe if that in order to be the best mom, I know had to home school. But I didn’t want to. I love sending my kids to private school and honestly the only way I would home school was if my husband had a portable job. (The military kind of frowns on this so we’re here).

Nevertheless, it took me a few days to move through this feeling of shame. Like I wasn’t a good enough mom. Like I was somehow failing my kids.

The truth is, homeschooling is just not for me, right now. I don’t need to beat myself up over this or add more to my plate to prove someone wrong.

I know who I am as a mom and that is all that matters ❤️
