Hi, My name is Keren and believe it or not am a mother of 8 children. Ages ranging from 16,14,13,11,10,8,4 and 7 months old, 4 boys and 4 girls.
I have been having problems with my 10 year old son in school, he brings attitude to the school and cause problems for the teachers and the students, i have been called in several situation about this problem. My son is a sweet boy, they also see this in school but most of the time he just has a bad day and is very hard to handle. I donīt really know why he is like this, he says somtimes there are other children in school that bother him, and he is offended easily. I find it unfair that he is the only one to blame in this situation, i sometimes wonder if they talk to the other children that have this problem with my son. But iīm the one who is always called and my son is the one is alwasy starts the problem. I as his mother maybe donīt see what other people see, I see a sweet boy that yes has his tempers, but what child doesnīt, He doesnīt show this side at home that the school says he has.
It is hard with 8 children and getting them all ready for school, In total my oldest go to HS my daughter to Middle school and my youngest are in elementary.
I think that homeschooling would be the best i can do form my children, atleast the younger ones, and need information on how to get started.
So pls anyone who can give me information on what i should do first, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
