I like the way your mind works!<br /><br />Ann Alagna-That's a good comeback!<br /><br />Wifey-Thanks! I think it happens with every parenting decision, but for some reason I've hit a lot of people who are upset about homeschooling.<br /><br />Kimberly-You're absolutely correct. Although I didn't hear it "bellybuttons"...LoL<br /><br />Jen-Ignoring is a good call!<br /><br />I do (obviously) have trouble letting go, but I have actually been adamant about homeschooling since before I even had Monkey....he was about three before I realized what a benefit it was not having to drop him off with strangers and bawl my eyes out!<br /><br />As you (probably?) know I am a pretty hard core Libertarian and always have been. A large portion of Libertarians homeschool-it's kind of a natural conclusion for a person who has the kind of mindset that makes you a Lib.<br /><br />Maybe that's the problem....none of the other people in my family are Libertarian!

But I did/am choose(ing) to home preschool them. <br /><br />I had one aunt and a couple of friends who were very adamant that I was making a "Horrible decision, and setting up my children to be behind once they start Kindergarten". <br /><br />I chose to ignore it. For me the situation is "easier" because my kids will go to public school as soon as Kindergarten rolls around and these people will no longer be complaining to me. <br /><br />I don't know what to tell you, other than as long as you know you're making this decision because it is in the best interest of your kids and not because you just don't want to "let them go", then I'd say, just ignore the critics and enjoy your days!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107101678246838876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670115623441863528.post-12266723237891618622009-07-07T05:48:14.175-07:002009-07-07T05:48:14.175-07:00Well we don't homeschool in our house, but I t...Well we don't homeschool in our house, but I think your response is perfect.

So what time will you be coming by to babysit/help with chores? Thanks for the offer!" That would probably make them stop. ;)Muthering Heightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660310558298459636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670115623441863528.post-157940680274907362009-07-06T06:02:20.340-07:002009-07-06T06:02:20.340-07:00With ya on this one!

She was absolutely appalled at my response. Just hang with it, once you have all 3 schooling, maybe they'll finally get the hint!!<br />Over from SITS.Jane In The Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936518391049202659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670115623441863528.post-41635715872018507612009-07-06T05:09:30.616-07:002009-07-06T05:09:30.616-07:00Just popping in from SITS - have a wonderful week!...Just popping in from SITS - have a wonderful week!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06203199679447764741noreply@blogger.com
