Honestly, I think some of the issues we're having here are a "me" thing. I'm getting a bit burnt out homeschooling 4 children and dealing with the special needs and trying to keep things as normal as possible for the other two. My oldest is on a competition dance team and we have to take her to practice some distance away several times a week, all 3 boys do karate, we have all the specialists appointments and I just don't get enough down time or enough sleep. I really needed a break at Disney and I just didn't get it. Maybe my expectations were just too high. We really thought that the meds had gotten some of the bigger issues under control, but being in the new environment was just too much for my two with issues.
Sheesh! I'm just rambling on here! Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to respond so thoughtfully.
Hang in there. Sometimes we can't do it all and stay happy and healthy ourselves. I hope you find a solution that works for you and your family. While I respect your choice to homeschool, I have two kids with issues myself (one with autism and both have ADHD) and I am beyond grateful for their teachers and schools. I love my children dearly, but I have to admit that all day-every day with my kids would make me crispy, too.
