I failed at homeschooling and gave up. On the one hand I'm happy with the school my children are in and have no desire to homeschool again, but I do feel bad that I failed and wonder why it's so difficult for me when so many other people can manage it. I seem to be able to do one thing at a time. If it's cleaning house, then I will have a very clean house for a week or 2. If it's working on making a photo book, I will spend hours and hours for days at a time making a beautiful photo book. If it's reading a book I will only be able to focus on finishing the book. But everything else besides what I'm interested in at the moment is nearly impossible. I try to make chore charts and things but it always fails. I often feel so overwhelmed that I just sit and stare.

Yes, except for the schooling, I'm fighting tooth and nail to make it work because my husband and I hold very strong feelings about it.
But the hyper focus on one thing at a time ... Yes. I struggle with the constant interruptions. With the interruptions of having to cook from scratch most meals because of allergies. Having to do school. Keeping house clean. Keeping up with my middle sons struggles. Not having hands on accountability through my husband, not hands on help either both because he is a trucker.
