I wish this was funny. I really do.
This is the most frequently heard reason for not homeschooling that I have personally ever heard.
Ladies, NONE of us have enough patience to homeschool. Or to raise children. That's why we have children, so we can learn all that stuff. It's cruel, really, I don't know what God was thinking.
Letting us practice on those poor, unsuspecting, innocent little children.
The only reason we think we were patient before we had kids is because we had nothing to be patient about. We thought life was hard then. Bwahhahahaha.
Give me a break. I blog for therapy.
What I've learned on the long, beautiful and frequently long road to motherhood is this:
Nobody ever has enough patience for anything or anybody.
That's it.
But it's probably safe to assume that you (and me) are more patient now than we were before we had kids. Or last year. Or ten years ago. Practice makes perfect.
There is nothing on this earth that makes us learn patience more effectively than waiting around for a small child on a potty.
Teaching algebra is peanuts to potty-waiting.

Pie is a lot like raising children. No, stay with me here, just for a minute.
It's a lame analogy, but I'm trying. A lot of work and a lot of mess, but worth the effort.
