Carolyn Morrison of Guilt-Free Homeschooling wrote a post for pregnant mothers who are struggling with homeschooling titled From the Mailbox: Pregnant & Homeschooling. It is a nice long post with lots of good advice.
One of the points Carolyn makes is that mothers can, and should, teach older children how to help around the house. We heard a speaker at church years ago tell the congregation that mothers should not be slaves doing all the work around the house. He said mothers should be supervisors who teach the children how to do the chores around the house. We like this approach. We want our daughters to leave our home competent and able to run a house. We don't want them to leave for college helpless and clueless about how to cook, clean and so on.
