I want to H/S my 5 yr old. I kept going back and forth on whether or not I was ready to start her in Kindergarten this year or wait it out another year. I'm totally regretting that I put her in school now. 
She goes to the same school as her older brothers. They were both H/S up until 2 1/2 years ago when I had to stop for various reasons. I've always missed it.
The thing is that my DD is in school with her brothers. We know the school, the staff. She went there for preschool the last two years so she is comfy there. But I still just don't feel right sending her to school. I wish she were home playing and being herself all day and doing the things I watched both of her brothers doing at her age when they were H/S.
Another thing is that I doubt my DH will agree to it. He doesn't want me to do it again. We run a business and he thinks it would be hard on me. I'm thinking of doing it just for 2-3 years and then putting her in school by 3rd grade when I feel she is older and can handle it better.
Plus, I've started back to college and taking a couple of courses this semester. I really wanted to work towards a degree. I can always put that off or do one class per semester so I'm not doing too much. But I can totally see my DH pushing me to go to college and not go back to H/S.
Anybody have any thoughts on how to approach my DH on the subject? If I could I would tell the school today that I want to take her out. But ofcourse it's not that easy.
Plus, the big one.... she likes her class and she loves school. If I took her out of the school she would still have to go with me to drop/pick up her brothers on a daily basis and be involved. That might be odd for us. It's not that she is behind or not up to par as far as where she is academically or socially or whatever. I just don't want her there. I have no real good reasons except that I would rather her be at home with me and learning at her own pace (and mine). I know what I did with my boys and it totally worked.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation?
