Instead of entertaining her thoughts
of;putting;the;kids;in;some;other;school,
what she really needs is for you to
sound;the;Fog;Horn;of;Truth:;“Wooooo
Gaaaaa”;(That’s;supposed;to;sound;like
a fog horn!)
She can’t see straight because she’s in
the fog. It happens to all homeschooling moms. They start out sunny and
optimistic, and then the fog rolls in
and chokes out every shred of the light
of truth. They freak out and start talking about quitting and turning back on
all they believe because they’re worried
about ruining their kids.
WOOOOO GAAAAA! Your deep
bellow shatters the fog and alerts your
homeschooling wife that she’s right on
track. She looks at you, her knight in
shining;armor,;and;your;voice;of;truth
pierces the fog of lies.
Remind her that she’s doing a great
job;;that;she’ll;work;through;the;kinks,
that you’ll give her the time she needs
to do so, and that she is an amazing
mom and wife. She won’t believe you
so you give another blast: WOOOOO
GAAAAA! Keep blasting until she starts
laughing at you or until she remembers
the truth.
You think I’m kidding? I’m not. The
homeschooling fog hits especially hard in
those;first;few;months;.;.;.;er,;days;.;.;.;hours
.;.;.;of;the;homeschooling;year.;A;good,;in-volved husband will get her through (at
least until the next fog bank comes).
She’s counting on you. She’s counting
on her brave and shining Fog HORN!
