I never felt super confident I mean I I
00:00:04
would I would be so puzzled by families
00:00:07
that would pick one thing like one
00:00:10
curriculum type and stick with it all
00:00:13
the way through I had a cousin who did
00:00:15
that there were several homeschool moms
00:00:17
that were like oh yeah we've stayed with
00:00:19
such and such a curriculum we get the
00:00:21
box of books every year and all the
00:00:24
things and I was like I can't imagine
00:00:27
that I just can't imagine not changing
00:00:29
it up a lot because as as my kids needs
00:00:32
change to change it up or we didn't like
00:00:35
that particular thing so let's try
00:00:37
something else so I and maybe that's a
00:00:40
little bit about my personality I don't
00:00:43
know I think I like to be able to count
00:00:47
on something I I love a certain amount
00:00:50
of structure but other like other
00:00:52
structure I hate I just chafe under it
00:00:55
so my my youngest has told me recently
00:00:59
that she thinks I have ADHD so I would
00:01:02
have never thought that but I wasn't the
00:01:04
best student um I did like like Hands-On
00:01:08
