I never felt super confident. I mean, I
00:00:03
I would I would be so puzzled by
00:00:06
families that would pick one thing, like
00:00:10
one curriculum type, and stick with it
00:00:13
all the way through. I had a cousin who
00:00:15
did that. There were several homeschool
00:00:17
moms that were like, "Oh, yeah, we've
00:00:18
stayed with such and such a curriculum.
00:00:21
We get the box of books every year and
00:00:23
all the things." And I was like, "I
00:00:26
can't imagine that. I just can't imagine
00:00:28
not changing it up a lot because as as
00:00:32
my kids needs change to change it up or

00:00:48
I love a certain amount of structure but
00:00:51
other like other structure I hate. I
00:00:54
just chafe under it. So, my my youngest
00:00:57
has told me recently that she thinks I
00:01:00
have ADHD. So, I would have never
00:01:02
thought that, but I wasn't the best
00:01:04
student. Um, I did like like hands-on
00:01:08
learning and so I did kind of do that
