I homeschooled my son and worked from home for 2 years. I loved the lifestyle but it still led to burnout.

I homeschooled my son for two years while I worked from home. I loved the freedom it gave us but still burned out, and he's back at in-person school.

The author, Ashley Archambault, homeschooled her son for two years and worked from home during that time. She and her son loved the freedom homeschooling provided, allowing them to design their own schedule and spend more time together. Despite enjoying many aspects of homeschooling, Archambault recognized the importance of social interaction with peers.

When her son returned to in-person school, he initially struggled academically, but ultimately benefited from the social environment and his own academic independence. Archambault ultimately left her teaching career to become a full-time writer from home, acknowledging that while her homeschooling experience was unique and valuable, it was ultimately her son's well-being and happiness that mattered most.
