Hoping someone that’s homeschooling in Scotland that would answer some questions I have 😅

I have like 101 questions 😅 I’ve been looking online but tbh haven’t found much

How and when did you start the process or transition to homeschooling?

How do I find what teaching/learning styles work for us? How will I know if it works?

Is hard to find a balance between parent & teacher?

How do I find out what my child should be learning and what stage they should be at?

How do I test them to find out what level they’re at and what we need to work on?

What is it like? Does anyone have any personal experiences they can share?

How do I find the national curriculum?

Any suggestions for books or websites to look at?

Any advice for if I only want to homeschool through primary school?

What were you most worried about going into it? How did it work out?

Also I have a list of pros and cons but does anyone have any personal pros and cons because I’m obviously just sort of making it up as I go along 😂

I want to do this properly. The reason I want to homeschool is to give my children the best possible education but I need to feel like I’m going to be able to do that. Any advice or pep talks for preparing mentally?

Where’s best to get resources and what will I need to get started?

Spending time with husband after having baby

I have a 5.5 month old baby and since she was newborn she was a contact napper. At night i cosleep so when its her bedtime i go sleep too. Daytime naps are still contact naps which i choose to continue with as i feel like its the only time i get to chill, watch tv or reply to messages etc..

My husband works from home but is basically self employed which means he’s always available but also isnt at the same time if that makes sense. He helps when i ask which is such a blessing!

The thing i think we’re unintentionally struggling with is spending time together. It feels like so long since its been just us and if we continue like this our intimacy is going to disintegrate quicker than i could catch on. We often try going on walks which is always nice but i exclusively breastfeed so baby girl has to always be with us for now.

Has anyone else struggled with this and how can we make more time for each other? Happy to hear similar experiences and what worked for you!

If yall still giving your kids processed food, pls seek help

I understand not everybody can afford healthy ingredients all the time, but I’m seeing so many moms on social media giving they kids artificial cereals, coffee, frozen pancakes, velveetta Mac and cheese, hot Cheetos, kraft, the list goes on. I’m sorry but are yall not capable of cooking from scratch or ?? On top of that, if you still using canola and vegetable oil in 2026 you gotta stop. Am I the only one that notices this ???

Sahm .. the dad role .

Hi!! I’m 2 months pp. and I really would like your opinion on this situation if you have a moment.
So I have always had a job before the baby, and my bd .. not really. But 2 weeks before he was born he scored a really good job and I was able to be a sahm. Which is what I wanted , and I’m unsure if it’s still what I want or if the situation just isn’t right.
At first he was a great help in the hospital as I had an emergency c section. I was in the hospital for about a week and for most of that time I was in bed .
But after that.. I’m lucky if he will watch the baby while I shower .and I mean that seriously.
I am the only one who changes diapers, only one who bathes , feeds or watched him in general. And of course he may be tired after work but it’s like he completely avoids any responsibility. Like he will take a hour coming home and stop by his friends house otw . He will sit down stairs for hours knowing I won’t go down there bc I’m uncomfy . So I have the baby then.
We have been out maybe 2-3 times sense I had him & he refused to push the stroller c change or anything. In fact we got to the mall and said he needed to split up and I had the baby.
I feel he only wants the baby when it’s for … attention? Like to post the baby on social media or if his family is here he will take him .

I just feel like on days he doesn’t have work the next morning he should be helping , and if he is up early before work while I’m still sleeping he should get the baby instead of scrolling on reels for 3 hours .

Honestly he has really ruined my new born phase with my son. Within the first week of us being home I had to full on switch to survival mode I would call it. He would complain if dinner wasn’t done or if the room was a mess , he would complain if the diaper caddy had no diapers which really makes no sense bc he didn’t even changed the diapers . It was just everything.
I’m just wondering if there is anything I could say to get some type of help out of him.
I tried reaching out to his mother but honestly his hole family is oblivious to his behaviour.

Are you a homebody?

It’s funny cause I wfh, and spend a lot of time in my happy place. So to compensate sometimes I’ll have my husband fill me in on neighborhood gossip, blah blah. My oldest had a crush on a girl in our neighborhood a couple of years back and now my husband was noticing that that same girl has been over the boy next doors house frequently. I’m like when? I never see her over there 🥴 he’s like you never leave the house 😅 ok fair

Am I being unreasonable…?

So have told in laws multiple times that going out for dinner with a 4 month old is not ideal. We’re due to go to theirs this weekend and the plan was to go out for lunch. They’ve now changed it to a 5pm dinner.

However, the routine with our LO is get ready for bed from 6, then I spend a good 30 - 40mins feeding and put her down at 7. I’ve said this isn’t ideal for us and they told me I need to be flexible, which annoyed me. Guess I just wanted to vent. Has anyone else navigated social dinners out and bedtimes? Not much fun for me breastfeeding and eating with one hand, I do enough of that at home 😢. LO doesn’t take a bottle.

Should I respect his wishes??

I’ve been a SAHM for 4 years now and my husband does a great job providing for our family and we never need for anything. With that i still had to sacrifice some wants like shopping when I want getting my hair and nails done regularly so when I can I try to supplement for my wants and savings by selling my craft items at vendor markets and recently I’ve started donating plasma. Which has been consistent income for me. $125 twice a week. Well my husband has expressed that he doesn’t like me donating plasma. He feels like it’s not worth it to put my body through those conditions for $125. He even went out to sell one of his guns today and gave me all the money and told me “I shouldn’t have to donate plasma no more”. That was so sweet but I disagree. I planned on continuing to donate plasma to save for my kids birthdays thats coming up, a trip we have planned and our anniversary. I don’t know what to do. I finally found something that pays something consistently and my husband is against it. What should I do?
