In this episode, Maeve and Mat juggle homeschooling and youth sports like Olympic-level plate spinners. They weigh the pros (teamwork, perseverance, socialization, and the dream of raising the next LeBron) against the cons (schedules that make NASA jealous, wallet-draining fees, and locker room “life lessons” you wish your kids missed).
Ever wonder how to homeschool on one income without selling a kidney? Join us as we cancel forgotten subscriptions, dodge $200 art classes, and debate if a flask at Sunday Mass is a budgeting hack or a confession starter.
