My son was homeschooled for 3 years, but I outsourced everything because we constantly argued throughout it all. It wasn't worth continuing and ruining our relationship. Now I'm homeschooling my daughter (5) and my biggest fear was not being qualified to teach her to read. We do use a curriculum. it's an open and go style. She's reading like a champ. We have surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds. I'm glad that there are people out there (like you!) who say don't cut yourself short.
Our relationship with our kids is so much more important than academics. And hooray for reading! We're all so much more capable than what our inner critic likes to tell us.
I love curriculum but we sometimes don’t bother!!! We don’t use a geography curriculum unless my kids ask for one!!! We addat curriculum!!! Rabbit trails are awesome!!! I have 3 kids doing write by numbers in a class now!!! One of my twins was sitting in with her bother and asked me to enroll her so I did alongside her twin brother!!! My older daughter is doing a year of research for a social studies credit (Japanese culture, geography and history) she wanted to do it!!! Reflection is key in education especially home education!!!

I love the year of research! That's such a great idea. I love curriculum, too, but I realized my kids prefer to follow rabbit trails.
