For our family, it is flexibility. We did not choose homeschooling lightly. It wasn't something we really wanted, but felt like God led us to. Now, 5 years later, it is a perfect fit for our missionary family. We have a strange working schedule and homeschooling gives us freedom to be flexible.
I believe it has to be a family decision. I got on board with the idea before my husband did, and I waited until he felt led in this direction also. With us on the same page, it helps get through the rough spots, since we both made the decision to do this.
The other thing that really got me through my very difficult first year, was networking online and finding moms I could relate to. My circle of friends online has been such a HUGE support to me through the years.
We have faced many challenges, but one is definitely dealing with our children and their *issues* daily with no break. I was a public school teacher and always had the idea that I would send my kids to public school. With that mindset, a mom figures a bit of a *break* into her day ;-). With no break, it gets draining to find time to refresh and calm down sometimes. My husband has really helped me with this, allowing me some time each day to just get away from the children to refresh and regroup. Working together has been KEY for us.
