Yesterday was a HARD day. My children were just plain disobedient. I couldn't get them to do anything I asked, and complained and cried, and whined about school work. I have been attempting to do the westward HO journey with them. I thought that doing something like this would be a fun change, and a fun thing to do together. My 6 year old is loving it, but my 7 year old continues to complain, and not cooperate. I started to wonder if I can even homeschool. Can I really do this? Am I teaching them anything?? I hit the end of my rope. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conculsion that it's my fault my children are like this. I will admit, that I have spoiled my children with tv and computer games. The only thing that my 7 year old thinks about, is playing games. I put my foot down yesterday. My children are now on a HUGE tv and computer fast. They aren't liking it too well, but I told them that until they can learn to not complain, and they learn to do their school work with happy hearts, then there is no tv or computer. I am desperate to get their focus back.
Today is a new day. Let's see if they act better. God help me to teach and not get frusterated and overwhelmed!
