Hi! Might be worried about nothing but can’t get a feeling out of my head.
im a grandmother. I’m quite young (early 50’s) and work 1.5 days a week at the moment. I have 4 grandchildren and look after 2 of them 3 days a week and I collect the other 2 from school once a week. Weekend babysitting every now and again). Love looking after them and I’ve always offered. I did expect it to get less as they start school though.
My daughter has announced that her 2 children won’t be going to school and will be homeschooled (no problems from me although I know very little about it). The oldest is 5 this month. The problem is that she expects me to homeschool them for 4 days a week (the 3 I normally have them and she’s asked for one extra). She works full time and her mother in law currently has them for the other 2 days (reducing for to ill health).
I just don’t want to. I’ve mentioned this and I just want to enjoy my time with them. She says that we don’t have to do any planned lessons. Just carry on as normal (Tesco, post office, park etc). And they learn through this. They do learn but is it enough?! She has said she won’t be doing anything additional as we’ll be doing it in the week (me and mother in law). I feel stressed that I don’t want to say no but I don’t even know where to start. Will just going about my day be enough??
any advice welcome!!
