We Don't Agree on Homeschool

[@nikitaadetiba3549]

“I am a good mother, but I often feel I am not the mother I wanted to be”. That part. 😢

[@Nativeroots559c]

I just came across your channel I'm a California native living on the East Coast now but I homeschool my four children I have three girls and one boy and we are a black homeschooling family. ❤

[@atupelechisiza9783]

I'm a wife and a working, expressing mom to a 5 month old. When I get home and have my baby down for the night, watching you is my 'me time'. Thank you for your content, someone appreciates it more than you know ❤

[@joyce2784]

If she feels the pressure to get an additional job to provide, why does he not feel the pressure to get an additional job to provide? He’s to be the provider. If she picks up the financial slack (AGAIN) she’ll never get out of (his) role and she’ll resent him for having to be the (co)-man for the family. I recommend she sits tight and make due with what she currently has. And let that financial pressure build so that HE will step up. Also, guilt doesn’t have to be a perpetual part of parenting. It tends to be the result of incomplete planning and poor choices that render less than ideal results that can’t be easily undone. She’s at a point where she’s about to make a decision. This doesn’t have be a choice (getting another job) that’s going to be the foundation for guilt later. Take care of your baby. Let him take care of the finances… even if it takes him a minute to get it that he needs a better job. It’s only entrepreneurship if it’s successful. Anything else… it’s more a hobby. And married men and fathers are not allowed hobbies in place of real jobs.

Good point

All facts, and very well written!

Story of my life

[@naturalise2039]

Congrats to everything especially the homeschool journey! We just started too ❤

[@rilyb4033]

I absolutely love seeing more black families homeschooling. We have been homeschooling from the beginning for all those reasons and more. Even up here in Canada. All the best to you all I have been watching this podcast from the beginning and love how intentional you are with the way you parents and nurture your marriage.

[@delle3955]

LOL @ "I feel like Glen and I need some PLC meetings!" I felt that sis! I've been teaching for 22 years, and this year I decided to not return as normal, and I took a part time tutoring role at a high school. This allows me more time to take my son to school, pick him up, and way more energy to work with him after work. It's still an adjustment financially, but I believe it will be so worth it, to be the kind of Mom and overall human I want to be. Thank you two for sharing so freely!

[@liliarosales1961]

Wow! So glad I found this, my husband and I are also homeschooling in SoCal (5 wondweful children) feliz aniversario! 💛🙌🏼

[@MissEsther_]

I found y’all from Yvette’s brothers podcast on the table w/AO & I absolutely LOVE YALL , y’all reminded me why me and my partner are not in a rush to get married. We are working on ourselves especially our mental health because we never focused on that before getting together but still made sure we were friends first before anything else. I appreciate the transparency it’s very refreshing especially for the black community ❤❤❤ God Bless Y’all 🙏🏽🙌🏾!!!👋🏾

[@HowMarriedAreYouPodcast]

Hi Esther! Welcome to the Wedding Party. 🤗 I absolutely LOVE that your both are prioritizing your mental health and getting to know yourselves in a more intimate way before marriage. Sooooo valuable. ♥

[@rockybaby31]

Hey Henry Family! I just love you guys. Glen you’re a person who seems to have a hard exterior but a soft interior 😂 you appear to be a very no nonsense person and Yvette, you just are free spirited, adventurous and loving. I’ve been watching each of you all’s channels for years and I’m happy to say that I enjoy the commentary! Thanks for sharing your story and lives with me ❤ shalom Rakhel from Detroit, Michigan!😊

[@JATM509]

I was just about to ask why you guys prefer homeschooling! Thanks for clearing that up! Makes sense!

[@dillonhall3344]

Man I really been missing these frfr I just turned on the notification bell late as heck.

[@antoineerikascott5022]

Many people have a very fixed mindset about "socializing"...your kids have each other...they interact with you... they get out in the community...they play sports...they've been to events, etc...they are socializing all the time...what people really want to say is "how are you exposing your kids to the world"...the world is all around them...and it's overrated especially if you're trying to raise your kids with a kingdom/Christ centered focus

[@alelshair]

So true. I was home schooled until 9th grade and, between church, sports, siblings, and homeschool groups, I had tones of social interactions. But there are things you miss. There cultural things that you mostly get at school that you miss if you're homeschooled. And it kinda makes you stand out for the rest of your life. I don't think it's a bad thing but it's definitely a thing.

[@antoineerikascott5022]

@@alelshair Thanks for that insight...I'm curious what kinds of cultural things did you miss? Cultural can be defined differently by different people...please share more ❤

[@alelshair]

@antoineerikascott5022 this is going to seem so small but it's something that I've never gotten used to but kinda learned to fake lol. There's a way that girls in particular relate to one another after absences (hugging, gift giving, alot of affection) that I never experienced until I finally returned to a school by junior year. (I went to 3 different high schools when my family transitioned away from homeschooling.) Even though I had sports and church, those are year round things. I had never experienced that 'omg what am I going to do without you for a whole summer!' Kinda thing that I saw everyone around me doing before holiday and summer breaks. Making friends has never been hard for me. But I don't relate to my friends in alot of the conventional ways that girls in particular tend to relate to one another. That's just one example.

[@abby999]

eeeeeeeggzactly😂

[@indiesuperneogenesis]

I truly enjoy your channel, thanks folks❤

[@whenyouwishuponastar6643]

I think that was solid advice. If they can come up with a timeline, maybe for the time being she can work extra and they can have a solid savings plan for the extra money? My husband and I are doing something similar. I hope it works for them. I understand wanting to homeschool or be able to spend more time at home with your child

[@TashM-hj6so]

“This person is like… they want Glen.” 🤣🤣🤣 So funny! Ohhhh Yvette😅 Day made! But yes, Glen should drop these sounds coz I even sing “Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed” til this day!!! We’re here for it and we support it 👏🏾👌🏾

[@KISSwithNatty]

Oh my word!!! I still sing those lyrics, too!!😂😅 ( and I do the little beat along with it) 😂😂

[@MarissaWashington530]

We are new to homeschooling and really in need of community outside of our co-op. Central Florida.

[@DulcesSweets]

I love that you're giving your kids the opportunity to call you out if needed (but respectfully...lol!). I think this will teach them how to communicate in a productive and respectful manner that will help them in future relationships/friendships/employment....

[@jamiehigh924]

Good to see you all.

[@TamiaPeach]

I just came to say that 10 flights a year is a lot! 😅

[@shkase398]

Right?! I have not been on a plane since my honeymoon, 12 years ago. I feel like I am at the other end of the spectrum though. 😂

[@2littleruby]

I am here to agree with you! 😂🥲

[@f.-j.j.5738]

Really? I don't think so, specially when the extended family is scattered around the country and you're trying to stay in their lives.

[@valenkennedy3879]

Make the kids floss and oil pull every night for ten minutes. That might save you a few trips to the dentist 😂

[@heatheraustin369]

I absolutely agree w/boundaries & the covenant of marriage. For me, my best friend cut me off after 30yrs of friendship when he got married. How it happend, no communication to me is what had me so angry. I found out he got married through social media. This was before I realized our friendship was over. I spoke to him once after he got married, early 2023 expressing how I felt. Since then we haven’t spoke. I was just appalled at how all this went down after being friends for so long.

[@OMGitsTEETEE]

Omggg! 14 years… congratulations 🤍

@16:15 ❤🎉 the standard we hold ourselves to, and the measure of judgement (maybe even only perceived).

My husband says the same about me when I mention getting a job 😂

Did you know the DMV has a huge population of black homeschooling families? 😏

School to prison pipeline is also a tracking of test scores and discipline. That data is used to predict the future of the children im public school.

Great conversation 💎

[@Nevamind1-k3q]

It really did sound like “brought” 😂

[@RDCFemmes]

Not the kiss on command!!!!! LOLO

[@stephaniejones7015]

Glen has had a lot of therapy! He asked a lot of emotional questions.

[@AlwaysLime]

I was so bad about scheduling my kids dentist appointments and not showing up that they put me on a special list. They text a week prior, text the day before and call the day before. If I don’t confirm both and answer the call, they cancel my kids appointments. That’s shameful!

[@rwill123]

I had a deja Vu moment watching the chocolate baby story time. I love when that happens. It's like breadcrumbs letting me know I'm on the right path making the right choices😊

I have wanted to homeschool my kids from the time I discovered I was pregnant but my babies are in school smh. I still try to teach them after school and weekends.

[@likethecolorgreen]

I waited tell my daughter could sit still before taking her to the doctor.

[@debwillacey4577]

PLC Meetings 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheIamshelock]

She has got to stop putting herself down. When she does is the only time he doesn't interrupt her. He is defensive and it irks me when she speaks about her feelings and he tells her she's wrong. I pray her self confidence continues to improve and she continues to find her voice.

[@tashanajoseph6171]

Well sometimes your feeling can be wrong..... I dont see any insecurity in her.

[@TheIamshelock]

@@tashanajoseph6171 just because you don't see it the same does not make my opinion wrong.
