Want to homeschool
Show your support
Do you have any access to public transportation? Maybe join some mom groups on fb. You could probably work out days when your hubbys off or maybe on days it’s possible, just take him to work? If you can have him join a dance group or soccer, once a week, he could make friends. That’s what I do with my girls. I just wake up early and take my husband to work on those days and take my girls. They’ve made a few friends that way 😊
I have 5 kiddos and we have 1 car in which dad uses for work alot. You can always find a group on Facebook and ask of anyone would like to come to your house for a playmate or meetup.. I do it all the time
Look up homeschool coops near by you to attend. Some of these moms claims they want to make friends for their kids, after a few discussions they ghost you. I am in a coop twice a week, and I wanted to look for other parents homeschooling their kids locally. I found some moms, but no other responses on dates to meet.
When we need to do activities, dad sets a budget for the activities because I don't drive. I will take an uber to the location and if he is able to pick me up at 4pm when he gets off of work he will do that. If not, I have to take the uber. But we have family outtings to make up for the month in budget
@Tara that’s a good idea ! We have a fun set up in the back yard
@Navita this ! I always end up getting ghosted and left confused
@Navita we definitely do a lot of family activities on the weekend to try and make up for it. I take the bus to the park and zoo during the week but most kids don’t want to play with him or the parents don’t take to conversation to make play dates. It’s hard out here
I’m having the same problem. My son is 6 and just doesn’t want to go to school he freaks out when getting on the bus so we’ve chosen to homeschool but I want him to have friends too so it’s a bit of a dilemma.
I’m in the same boat…join the ymca and do all your activities with them…they usually have activities for you and activities for your kiddo…you can take public transit and it’s usually in a central safe location..good luck! ❤️
can you do public transportation? or maybe drop dad off at work to keep the car?
Ohh I wish we lived in the same state! My son is 4. They would be two peas in a pod. It’s crazy to me that some parents don’t want their kids hanging out with their children. Their kids….I completely understand how you feel. I’m homeschooling my son. The most interaction he gets is if we go to the park. Yeah totally check out facebook and mom groups. Also pray about it too. God will send you the right people in your life. That you as a mom can be with and your children can also have friends 💕.
@Kirsten it is rough out here. I posted in my local mom group that we are open to meeting other homeschooling families. People responded, then when I messaged them, no hear back. I'm like why do I even bother?! Its like people are so confined to themselves and its hard, because we complain how long and lonely motherhood is and yet, when someone try to build a village no effort is put in.
Yesterday, my boy met a kid and his sister at the library. They were together for 2.5 hours. Mom and I exchanged numbers. I text her today, and no response 😆
My son is 5 years old is going to be 6 years old in September and I'm homeschooling he's doing Cascade virtual academy but it's through K12 and he plays with other kids at parks and water park and we live in an apartment with other kids . but going to try and get him groups and other things for homeschooling kids his age .

@Stephanie my son is 5 will be 6 years he used to go to Head start where we used to live and when it came to public schools I wanted to homeschooling him cause he has really bad ADHD and some kids can be so mean and I don't want him to get bullied even tho I know he can hit hard . And find some groups of moms on Facebook and kid play dates
@Navita i get it! It can be rough out here. I’ve dealt with the same and began looking at like maybe those just aren’t our people, but I think him going to a public school isn’t a bad idea especially if it’s temporary. Definitely move as you are led and do what works best for your family.
Have you joined the homeschool school Facebook groups for your area?
I want to add he is asking for friends 😭
