Miss Mummy: A Year of Homeschooling

By Madison Clarke

A sometimes funny, occasionally sad and often thought-provoking account of one young mother's emotions, trials and tribulations through a year of lockdown and of homeschooling her young son during the Covid-19 pandemic in the UK.When 'lockdown' came and Madison Clarke suddenly found herself responsible for homeschooling her 10-year old son, she embarked on a rollercoaster ride, juggling household chores, working from home and Zoom meetings, learning how to teach, managing the available resources for teaching, caring for her family and her cats, and trying to keep track of the Government's ever-changing rules and guidelines about lockdown restrictions, 'bubbles' and social distancing. But these were just the practical considerations. There were also the emotional issues involving parenting and marriage, keeping relationships alive, making new friends, overcoming self doubt, trying not to drink too much wine and hanging on to one's sanity. Balancing all of the demands on her time, her responsibilities both at home and at work, and the challenges posed by her fears, worries and doubts, Clarke navigates a path through the often choppy and occasionally stormy seas of life. If you want to feel a little better about yourself, or be relieved that someone else has been going through the same chaos and confusion, then read this book.Miss Mummy - A Year of Homeschooling is the candid story of a life-changing year, a story not only of the frustrations and the meltdowns, but also of the happiness, the laughter and learning to appreciate the simple pleasures of just enjoying time with one's closest family, no matter how much they drive you crazy!
