I know quite a few families who have decided to homeschool and I'm overwhelmed at all the options there are on how to start it. I've tried to do a class like approach at home a few times, but the kids simply aren't interested. Since I'm trying to learn programming and have the kids at home all day It's not easy. Most days I just want to put them in daycare and go work, but then I hear about the abuse, deaths, and such happening (just read about one in my area) that just makes me want to quit my career goals for good and protect my kids. :( I try to stay current reading articles / posts about tech, but i do miss going to work. Having a family and making that a priority is a sacrifice for those of us who had an awesome career. I worked while i was really big and pregnant. Working overtime sometimes because I loved my job. ...sigh Are you homeschooling or planning on it? Are you able to work from home or have flexibility/ family to care for your child when you can't work from home? Even though I'm 1 hr away from my fam. (i was 16 hrs away) they can't always help. So that's why i'm thinking about homeschooling and taking my career future one day at a time.

Yeah, I'm WFH and my partner is full-time on child care currently. We're undecided on schooling but leaning homeschool.
