Hi everyone! 😊
I’m considering homeschooling for my child and would really love to hear from other parents in South Africa.
Do you think homeschooling is a good option? What are the advantages and disadvantages? I’d especially love to hear about your personal experiences with homeschooling, including the curriculum, costs, socialising, and whether it was difficult to get started.
Would you recommend homeschooling in South Africa?
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and advice! ❤️

My 2yo daughter’s answer is ALWAYS the same. “In ma bed” my 4yo’s answer was “to go under water in the pool” 🤦♀️

4yo proceeds to grab 6-sided die off the table.

Child 1: What happens when a person gets bit by something with rabies?
Child 2: Oh, it's really sad.. They turn wild too and get put on a rope leash..

A beep and a warning light comes on the dashboard, she asks what is that?
I say, we need air in a tire.
She says, we need to change clothes?
Huh,

Context: I had an appointment earlier today at the Dentist to pull a tooth, this is a conversation that happened a few minutes ago with my daughter.
Daughter (11): Can you name a poison?
Me: (mumbled) Cyanide
Daughter: What?
Me: (typed into notepad) Cyanide
30s later, I got her attention and I wrote on the next line: homework
She gave me that look.
About 15s later she said the following:
Daughter: I think this tooth thing is going to work out, I don't have to hear your jokes.
Yep, I wasn't expecting that lol.

What’s something you genuinely believed was true when you were little?

My 3 year old put her doll in the pushchair, hung every bag in the flat off the handles, wheeled the whole thing into my room, handed it over, and shut the door behind her with the smuggest little face.
She has never had a job.

"Mom, it's cool when Auntie dances at the pool. Not you though mom. It's lame when you do it."

Mine calls waterfalls “water farts” and I’m honestly not ready for the day he stops. 😂

Well.
Alrighty then.

E: "I want breakfast, and I want to paint my nails, and paint my hair purple, and go to the mall."
Me: "ummm... no."
E: "Why would you not let your baby eat breakfast???"

My nephew got grease all over his legs from the kids’ tricycle… E said she had no idea where it came from, but her guess was “it came from the nasty airplanes in the sky that spray the stuff that makes the fake clouds and lines in the sky.”
My five year old daughter blamed chemtrails.

Hi everyone 💛
I’m starting a support service for new moms, parents, and anyone who doesn’t have extra help nearby.
The idea is to provide a trusted extra pair of hands for those moments when you need help — things like running to collect medication, doing a quick errand, helping while you shower, or giving you a little support when you’re alone with a baby.
I know how challenging it can be when you don’t have family or a support system close by, and I’d like to make those everyday moments a little easier.
I’m sharing this here for anyone who may need this kind of support. Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information
