God has called me to be a SAHM and homeschooler. I am blessed with a husband who is fully supportive in many different ways: with homeschooling, helping in the home when needed, and supporting our family from outside the home.
My concern is this: how do I manage to NOT become "stir-crazy" (or depressed, or resentful, etc) when I'm at home with children all the time?
I know there are many group activities and other families and friends I can connect with in the homeschooling, local, and church community. But even then, I'll be at home a LOT, especially when our children are very young. This is where my concern lies: when my children are very young and I can't get out very often. I don't want to go crazy, and least of all, I don't want to "take it out' on my husband if that should happen!
What helped you through those years when your children were very young and you had to spend more time at home with them?
