A poem - by.....me

[KLSuddeth]

I think that I shall never see....
a woman stressed out as much as me
For I have a child that makes me mad
stresses me out; makes me sad
I have chosen to homeschool him as a means of helping out
however, his method of repayment leaves something without
He takes my patience; tries it to no end
I feel like saying, ‘hey, Im a tree! I can bend’!
He defies every last thing I say
By ignoring me, or worse by saying, ‘oh no mom, no way’
I try to teach him spelling, English and to read a map,
He responds with, ‘mom, I like computer games-I’ll never need that other crap’.
I want to yell and scream , pull out hair and more
I want to throw a tantrum upon the floor.
But alas, I cannot…..Im supposed to be the Mom
This homeschooling thing is SO not the bomb!
Ive tried and Ive tried and Ive tried some more,
This whole damned situation has become something I abhor
So if you should ever have cause to pass by me
Please gather my bones and bury them under yonder tree.

The End

You need a Mr. Belvedere, or a Benson, to help out. Just let him play games all day, then sell him to the DoD to operate remote control machines of war. It's a plan.: He'll probably love it.

In the meantime I've got some substandard menial tasks for him when I get home

by that time, I may be nothing more than a memory I fear...

You have true talent for poetry...that was great!

If you truly hate home schooling, why not stop? You certainly deserve to have a pleasant relationship with your son...and less stress in your life!

I still believe that once we get over the hump of this being so new that it will be fine. Also, I didnt begin homeschooling as a choice....Actually this is something that I will be posting about in the very neear future to get people's opinions on regarding what I should do next
