I would like to give a shout-out to all the single homeschool parents out there. I’ve chatted with you on this site and in Raising Poppies and I am so proud of you all for making it work.

I think you are amazing. Truly.

Homeschooling can be extremely challenging at times.

And it’s even harder when you are doing it alone.

I’m fortunate because my husband is my biggest supporter.

And while he supports me wholeheartedly, he does work a lot.

Having a spouse who works a lot is completely different from being a single homeschool parent. These are two separate worlds. And so before I get into homeschooling when Dad works a lot, I wanted to give a shout out to all the single homeschool parents who rock this homeschool gig day after day.

Homeschooling When Dad Works A Lot

The Homeschool Sisters chat about homeschooling when Dad works a lot

In this episode of The Homeschool Sisters Podcast, Cait and Kara discuss what it is like when dad works or travels a lot.

It can be stressful to be the only adult on duty, 24/7. Bedtime becomes more challenging, washing machines break, and the last thing you want to think about is dinner.

Cait and Kara have been there, too, and they have some survival strategies to help you through it. From games to fantastic audiobooks to dinner picnics, we’ve got you covered!

Cait and Kara want to send a huge hug to all the single mamas out there who rock solo-parenting day in and day out. If you know a single mama, ask her kids over for a playdate so that she can get lost in a bookstore, savor a silent moment, and enjoy her coffee steaming hot!
