Just that really. How are you managing home schooling with kids of different ages?
Mine need constant supervision to do the work and we have a baby crawling around who wont sit in a high chair while older kids do their work. All the kids seem to need help at the same time.
The older kids are now flat out refusing to do any work (primary age). They moan when we go on our daily walks. I've tried getting them to complete work separately so 1 does maths, the other does a puzzle or ipad which works sometimes but meantime the baby is crying or trying to eat inappropriate things on the floor or whatever. As soon as I deal with the baby the other kids stop working.
We are not managing to get any work done at all really. Then when OH finished work he sits with them and they will do their work- why?!?! I feel like such a failure. If I try they just say no, i dont want to, I'm not doing that etc, they would rather just lie on the floor than engage in anything. So fed up. Cant manage another 2 - 3 - 10- more?? weeks of this.
