I was just breathing with you while I read this post. Congratulations on joining us in this world of balistic parenting. I appreciate knowing there is more than one of us out there. Sometimes I am amazed at the patience my daughter has with our schedule. We do meetings and just about everything else together, including bathroom breaks. Ugh! Our daughter is also advanced for some of her peers and because she is so driven I use opposites to balance her would be extremes like harp music for naptime, massage when she can stand it, and the trampoline for both us... Dree just spent the night with my buddy and my husband and I had time to ourselves. We went to dinner at the VFW and laughed all night long having so much fun with the older generation. What a riot! When Dree finally came home yesterday she just kept whining and crying, until I finally said let's talk. Putting her into my lap I asked what was up. Thankfully we've taken the steps to develop this level of interaction. She told me she woke up in the night crying because she missed us. We let her gut it all out (took about 7 seconds) then she hugged us both and I reminded her that we were back together again. Would you believe the whining completely stopped after that? It took me a while to catch on that she needed to punctuate our reunion before she could transition back into our home. What I enjoy most is not having to be a genius all the time, just being a good listener works most of the time. Thanks for keeping it real! There's a fearless parent in all of us. Seen yours lately?

I know what you mean about naps. I have to take one daily as well. We homeschool, and five was difficult for us as well. We had the same issues with meltdowns and my son wanting dad to teach. And we didn't school for anymore than an hour or so in Kindergarten. I think it just takes them a while to get accustomed to the idea that mommy is the teacher, and that they have to buckle down to work. We also went with a more traditional curriculum because he was not responding to other methods of homeschooling which I tried. We use the eclectic Christian textbook approach with a little Charlotte Mason snuck in here and there. I found you via INFP Introverts. :) Good for you! I know what you mean about naps.

Even Jesus took time out after being with a bunch of people all day....hey, I just thought, I wonder if that means he was an introvert by nature...now THAT would be an amazing discovery... Everybody needs different amounts of rest, and for an INFP, the emotional/mental stress of giving out in a teaching capacity for long periods is as exhausting as physical work is for a laborer. My husband is a builder and an ESFJ, and I spend alot of time writing and talking to people on the phone. We are both ready to sleep at the end of the day. Don't feel guilty about needing to rest. You can't give to your family if you are depleted. Becki,
