My husband wants me to homeschool my children and I do not want to.

Look into microschools & co-op groups in your area (: Also talk to your partner about hiring an independent educator like a retired teacher or tutor 🤷♀️
What about private? I was in the same situation and opted for a Montessori school because I still wasn’t comfortable with public.
He wants to homeschool so bad he can teach them then it’s not fair of him to ask that of you if you’ve explained you don’t think you’re mentally up for it, but if you wanna go all logical on him, I was homeschooled. It brought a lot of issues growing up. I had severe social anxiety and separation anxiety. If my mom tried to leave me somewhere, you would have to get two people to hold me down and if I got Free, sometimes I would see her driving out the driveway so I would jump through her moving car window that was when I was four as an adult my social anxiety spiked I would get panic attacks going into crowded rooms I would have a panic attack trying to order food on the phone. It is very good for your child to interact with people of their own age, especially from a young age it helps a lot with social anxiety and their development and if you really wanna scare him out of homeschool my friend growing up, he was homeschooled his whole life until high school You can now search his name

And believe me when I befriended him no one saw that coming. He was just a very awkward kid. Who wasn’t good around people was so innocent he thought my gay friend Brett was just really nice to him never did we think he would run over a family and become a terrorist
The first couple years don’t require very much. If you were wanting to try it out and start with preschool it would be like 30 minutes of school per day at the most.
You have a couple of years before you need to start it, so say you will reevaluate in a year or so.
Could yall look at a hybrid school? One that does either half days or a couple of days a week? It’d still be homeschooling but it’d be similar to a co-op and still give you a break. Another idea is a co-op that meets frequently or does things together where you can drop them off. Another idea is, if he wants to homeschool and you don’t, would he stay home and do so and you get a job? Honestly the homeschool experience is so customizable and can be fitting for a lot of lifestyles.
