Parents that have Cf/ or any parents

here's a couple of other options :

give up the landscaping business where you are and go somewhere like AZ or the likes, that you can do landscaping year around and forget about the back and forth stuff.

or

look into homeschooling again - get onto some of the homeschooling and unschooling boards and learn more about your options for homeschooling - <b>it is what you make it </b>-- if you want your kids to be socially interactive and busy with friends and activities you just need to find those activities and do them! you will have plenty of time to do what you want because you will not be locked into public school hours. Homeschooling is incredibly flexible and you may even find it benefits you too because you can modify things to your needs. And yes, there are tons and tons of curriculum choices out there to use if that's the way you want to do it.

I'm probably bias, (and I'm not saying it's for everyone) but I homeschooled my kids and we all loved it -- we got to spend so much time together doing whatever we wanted. We had annual passes to just about every zoo, museum, educational center, water park etc that you could think of. The kids were in all sorts of classes like dance, Tae Kwon Do, art, ballet, computer, swimming - they had friends to do things with and occasionally we cracked open a book or two (yes, that was a joke - they did learn what they needed to and went on to college at age 16 and 18)

PM me if you are interested in any more details.

Best of luck with your decisions!

I thought the same thing as Alyssa as far as working in landscaping, in Florida you can do that all year round. I have family who is in the landscape/design business and a booming business it is down there. He happens to be in Miami - it is unbelieveable the money that flows down there for that kind of thing.

I think it is great that you are thinking about it now, those are some important things to consider.

You'll find the answer.

as a bilingual teacher I have seen migrant children who spend part of the school year in once place and part in another - usually they are very behind in school (of course the bilignual thing is a whole issue there in itself). There is no way a school in NJ and a school in FL are going to be in sync, so while you could do this feasibly like a migrant farmworker would, I think you'd face a ton of problems with missing information, learning the same things twice, wtc. plus the social aspect.

I think homeschooling could be great in this situation. I don't think you should compare your sick year homeschooled to what you could do with a heathy child. You could get involved with homeschool groups in both states and do all sorts of fun stuff - and I think the social aspect wouldn't be so hard, because you would be going with Vienna and other kids to these evens rather than sending her off as the new kid, again - kwim?

I'll be interested in hearing what you decide to do.

I am a mom with CF... We homeschool. My son has special needs (not CF-- hyperactivity and food allergies) as well so homeschooling seemed best for us. I don't want my son in school for fear of what he will bring home to me.

Our son has his buddies that he plays with on the weekend and very occasional playdates during the week. There are homeschool groups in most towns (even small towns). The other plus is we can take a vacation whenever we want and I can take a sick day anytime I want (and/or teach from bed).

You have to do whatever works for you.
