I've got friends who homeschool but no personal experience (though we have always said that if the kids weren't happy/thriving in school that we'd pull them out--so who knows, I may homeschool yet!). So clearly I'm homeschooling positive.
As to the sex thing. It took me years to get any sex drive back and it is still a hit and miss thing for me so...I'm not much help there, eh?
On another, more selfish, note...How exciting is it to me that you are moving to London, a mere hour from where I'm at right now....Maybe we could meet up in the summer sometime ? Storybook Gardens, anyone? Cheesy as hell but my kids love the water park and the climbing stuff at the back of the park and we get there maybe 2-3 times a summer....

Ugh, forget about the libido. Sex? Yuck! Especially right after having a baby. I wasn't really interested in sex until the wee man was almost 6 months old, and even now I go in waves. I'm so totally at the mercy of my hormones. When it's good - it's great. When it's not - get off of me you perverted bastard.

Anyway, age does this. I was so ready to go somewhere around three weeks after my first one and had no postpartum depression - not so with this one. And remember, each pregnancy and subsequent recovery is different too.

Good luck, mama. You'll want to nookie soon enough. Don't let anyone (including yourself) push you into it if you don't dig it.

The decision to home school is a big commitment. I home schooled my 2 oldest boys until the divorce when I had to go to work. We are so glad that I did it. It is something my boys and I will always have. I wish i could do it again. If you do decide to, make sure you find a good supportive home schooling "community". Good luck in what ever you decide!!
