[quote=Anonymous]Mine are getting up around 8, lazing around for a half hour before brushing their teeth and sitting down to do school from 8:30-11:30 or noon.  I let them eat breakfast while they work.

Then they make lunch and FaceTime friends.  One listens to music while doing homework for the next day but the other does homework while FaceTiming. I have been alternating each day with either art or "gym" for all.

Then they do whatever from about 3 to 5. Then everyone cleans or folds laundry or walks the dog or reads or something until 5:30 or 5:45. If they sneak off to do nothing after getting done whatever I asked them to do,  I pretend not to notice. Then we make dinner, eat, clean up, watch something, play a game and then they laze around until bed.

I have five kids at home so need to run a tight ship in order to avoid chaos. Some days there are special projects. Yesterday the girls learned how to check the oil on a car and use a tire pressure gauge. Today everyone learns to fold a fitted sheet. Tomorrow they learn how to bake salmon. [/quote]
