Homeschooling brings both joys and challenges.  As a veteran homeschool mom, Audrey, shares the most difficult aspects of her 12-year homeschooling journey to provide a balanced perspective.

• The challenge of constant togetherness for an introvert who craves occasional solitude
• Financial pressure and lifestyle adjustments of living on one income
• The weight of being solely responsible for children's entire education
• Socialization struggles that some homeschooled children face
• Emotional, physical, and spiritual drain leading to periodic homeschool burnout
• The importance of having a clear confirmation from God to sustain through difficult times
• How inadequacy in homeschooling drove greater dependence on God's strength
• Each child experiences homeschooling differently, requiring individual approaches
