Homeschooling as Told by Doctor Who

Doctor Who is undoubtedly one of my favorite shows to binge watch on Amazon Prime. Why? Because it's silly, and science-y, and filled with all sorts of ridiculous timey-wimey fun. But can homeschooling be described by Doctor Who? I believe it can. Here are 10 of my favorite Doctor Who moments... and their relation to the stereotypical homeschool family experience. ;) 

Let's be real. This is your internal reaction when school is in session, and all of the beaches, stores, libraries, and amusement parks are deserted...

Don't pretend. 
You know you'll wait for this moment to come all summer long.
Embrace your inner joy over a (nearly) kid free Target.
Your secret is safe.

... until your kids suddenly decide to act like they've never seen another human...

"I swear I let my kids out of the house --
once in a while."

... or when they tell strangers crazy stories about being homeschooled.

"No we did not count an episode of Doctor Who as a history lesson,
nor did you have ice-cream for breakfast."
Ahem.

When somebody asks "What about socialization?" and you have to come up with a witty comeback.

When the kids do their math assignments without complaining...

The world is very strange...
But beautiful. So beautiful. Especially today.

... or when your child reads their first sentence without any assistance.

"I did it! I'm not ruining my kids' lives!"

Then there are those days when you have to repeat the directions 50 times...


via GIPHY

*tap tap* 
Is this thing working? 
Can you hear me?

Those moments when you decide it's just not worth continuing the debate...


via GIPHY

"Let's just figure this out tomorrow."

... and the days when they won't. stop. fighting.

Who wants to play the quiet game?
MOMMY DOES!

But at the end of the day, this is how you feel...

Sung to the conga line tune:
"The kids have gone to bed! Yeah! 
The kids have gone to bed!"

... because you know you are making the decision that's right for your family, and you wouldn't change a thing. :)
