Comments on: Shawna’s homeschool day in the life (with a 15- and 18-year-old) https://simplehomeschool.net/shawna2021/ Never let your schooling interrupt your education. Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:01:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Allison Campbell https://simplehomeschool.net/shawna2021/#comment-775338 https://simplehomeschool.net/?p=62231#comment-775338 I would like to have the same good relationship with my children when they are teenagers. One of my biggest fears is that they will drift away from me.
It looks like you’re doing great.

I loved this post. My son is now 17 and I have been home schooling him for 7 yrs. He never liked any of it and refuses to do any now. I just don’t no what’s going to happen in the future. He doesn’t want to go to college or any kind of work skills. I’m at a total loss of what to do.

Jen! I am glad I am not the only Life Skills teacher not doing the laundry. 🙂

I especially love the fact that you are such a good life skills teacher! My room often has the laundry baskets full and migrating from bed to floor. Thank you.

In my experience it seems like we have to give ourselves as parents a little breathing room. We need to take each day as it comes and do the best we can. Some days are better than others!

Thanks again for the great post!
