The Struggle is Real

So personally I love unschooling Averi. It makes my heart happy to be able to be with her and watch her grow every single day. But unfortunately I feel like my husband doesn't agree with the unschool/homeschool method. He is a firm believer that traditional schooling is the way to go. He says it builds a foundation. Which I totally see his point and I have made most of the decisions about Averi's schooling on what I believe and am comfortable doing. Hubby and I have had several discussions and even arguments about this very subject. I don't want to put her in public school or a school that is religious based. (Not for us but to each their own) It makes me so upset and heartbroken that we disagree on this subject. I feel like he just doesn't get it nor does he pitch in to help me with her learning either. I am not ready to give in and I am stubborn when it comes to what I believe is right. My child is not a sit in a desk for 6 hours a day doing worksheets.... she is a hands on outdoorsy child that will run until she can't breathe and be dirty from head to toe from rolling in the dirt. The one thing I don't like is that I am always running around trying to make money and she is usually with me or hanging with her Mimi. I wish this place we lived had more for the homeschooled students. Unfortunately they just don't. We are not religious so when it comes to most things around here it mostly goes along with some religious group. I need to make it a point to be better at teaching her actual school things. She works on a program but we aren't like traditional school so we aren't on a schedule and we learn from life in general. So with all this being said I am not ready to put her in school and be running around like a chicken with my head cut off but we need a schedule to stick to and days to get her out to the library or something. The struggle is real... Mom needs an unschooling make over that makes the hubs happy too. <3
